Wade Carroll, AICP

Associate Partner | Consultant | Marketing Officer

Wade Carroll has over twenty-five years of addressing a wide range of planning focus areas – including freight, economic development, land use, and multimodal transportation. His experience also includes working with a wide range of clients, including national cooperative research programs (CRPs), state DOTs, transit agencies, councils of governments (COGs), community improvement districts (CIDs), and local governments. With that said, Wade is most proud of his work with MPOs of all sizes. From a national perspective, Mr. Carroll served as Project Manager for the NCHRP 1002: Metropolitan Planning Organizations: Strategies for Future Success, the most comprehensive inventory of MPO best practices to date. Wade has also led projects for multiple MPOs of all sizes – including the 18-county Atlanta Regional Commission (large), Montgomery, AL MPO (midsize), and Albany, GA (small). His combination of statewide, regional, and local planning experience offers him a profound understanding of how federal and statewide policy influences MPOs and local government decisions.
