The Division of Mobility and Parking Services (MaPS) exists to provide safe and predictable mobility and parking options for residents and visitors to the City of Columbus (City of Columbus, 2023). 

MaPS does this by increasing the number of options people have to travel within the City of Columbus. Through its management of the shared micro-mobility program, BikePlus program, vehicular parking and the planning of non-car exclusive transportation infrastructure, MaPS is working to diversify and modernize the way people move around Columbus, Ohio.

The 2026 Bike Parking Guidelines were created in order to assist developers and property managers with the implementation of development-side bike parking.

I completed initial research and draft recommendations in 2024. Following this, I developed illustrations for the "Design & Layout Guidance" section in 2025. Between 2025 and 2026 my team and I collaborated internally and with the city's Department of Development to produce the final published bike parking guidelines document.

Short-Term & Long-Term Parking Guidance Language (2025 - 2026)

The DRAFT bike parking planning methodology serves to help MaPS planners understand where public bike parking is needed most without relying solely on public requests.

Between 2024 and 2025 I completed a comprehensive public bike parking audit across our entire network to ensure DPS GIS data accurately reflected real world conditions. I used this data to conduct an initial analysis of where bike parking was most concentrated in the city. Once inventory was up to date and an initial review of bike parking density was complete, I began working with my team and street crew to site and install bike racks from public request. Because bicycle mode share is low, the city historically has been slow to install new public bike parking. To remedy this, I am in the process of developing a new network gap analysis & prioritization scheme that will allow MaPS to deploy bike racks in places that can support cycling but don't yet have adequate parking infrastructure.

The Downtown Multimodal Coordination & Design Review Team (DMCT) is a cross divisional unit that is tasked with ensuring the process of modernizing Downtown Columbus' transportation network is completed according to goals laid out in plans such as BikePlus, Vision Zero and LinkUS. 

I help the DMCT by conducting analysis of the various corridors we focus on. I also assist with some design review work when my schedule allows. My primary contribution to Downtown Multimodal Planning is via Bus Lane Enforcement research, compliance  audit, and strategy development. The Central Ohio Transit Authority aims to add at least 3 bus rapid transit lines that operate in bus-only lanes within City of Columbus owned Right-Of-Way. Currently the City of Columbus maintains 2.8 lane-kilometers of peak-restricted parking bus-only lanes. In 2026 I conducted an analysis to understand the level of driver compliance within the 2.8km stretch. This analysis has triggered further conversations about how to manage the bus-only lanes that exist today and how the City will keep the new lanes outside of the core clear of private vehicles in the future.
