Mr. Moule
is President and Principal Transportation Engineer of Livable Streets,
Inc., the company he formed to assist state and local governments in
planning, designing, and maintaining transportation systems that
accommodate all modes of transportation as a means of improving quality
of life. He has significant innovative design experience and
specializes in improving conditions for non-motorized users without
degrading vehicle capacity. Specifically, he works in pedestrian and
bicycle transportation engineering and planning, community friendly
street design, "main street" projects, traffic calming, intersection
design including roundabouts, shared use path design, "road diets",
bike lane restriping projects, transportation design for
neo-traditional development, and other similar projects. Mr. Moule makes frequent presentations at local, regional, and national conferences and forums. He employs a public workshop format where he presents "toolboxes" of various treatments (e.g. traffic calming measures, pedestrian crossing treatments, bicycle facilities, etc.) to citizens in order to train them to design and recommend solutions. He actively participates in international email discussion groups concerning transportation engineering and multi-modal transportation which enable him to keep abreast of the "state of the practice" and new developments or technology. Mr. Moule regularly reviews various state and federal transportation and engineering standards documents. |

Coordinators’ responsibilities included designing and overseeing the
construction of multi-modal highways that comply with federal, state
and local standards using MicroStation drafting software and Inroads
road design software. Specifically these designs included road
alignment, typical sections, sidewalks, storm sewer systems, and
staging and detours. Design phase responsibilities included directing
and reviewing the drafting of construction plans and reviewing designs
for traffic signals, permanent signing, structures, and landscaping.
Construction phase responsibilities included completing redesigns due
to unforeseen problems or new information, and directing the work of
project inspectors and surveyors. Pedestrian

goals included reviewing construction plans, providing technical
guidance to ODOT employees, local governments and consultants, and
inspecting in-progress and completed projects. Mr. Moule also tracked
bicycle and pedestrian expenditures and administered a grant program
for cities and counties. Mr. Moule’s duties also included preparing and
updating cycling maps and publications including the Oregon
Bicyclists Manual, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Count Report,
