In an interview, Lisa M. Fontana Tierney, Traffic Engineering Senior Director, talked about herself. Tierney said immediately following the completion of my undergraduate degree, she took a position as a design engineer for Bergmann Associates, a consulting firm in Rochester, NY just an hour from where she grew up in Buffalo, NY. This job was a wonderful opportunity that introduced her to a wide array of civil engineering disciplines. She particularly enjoyed working on transportation projects that involved interaction with multiple stakeholders such as developers, governmental agencies, and the general public. ITE had a very small staff at the time she was first hired -- so they all became very seasoned in "doing it all." Gradually over the years, as the staff has expanded, her role has become much more specialized. This has allowed an increased focus on specially areas such as context sensitive design, pedestrian and bicycle design, traffic calming, and speed management.
