Dear Ms. Smith,
Your need for a Washington State Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning Specialist has come to my attention. I provide strong leadership, research, and attention to detail aptitudes. My ability to work well with others, environmental science degree, and extensive bicycle and alternative transportation work makes for a strong foundation for this position.
My experience includes eleven years of serving on the Ann Arbor Bicycle Coordinating Committee (AABCC), Washtenaw Biking and Walking Coalition (WBWC), and I am an American Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) member. Among my accomplishments have been:
Traffic counts, site evaluations, and analysis.
Produced Bicycle/ Alt Program literature, maps, resolutions, and correspondences.
Succeeded in getting a minimum five percent (5%) of ACT-51 funding to be appointed to non-motorized transportation in the Ann Arbor area into perpetuity.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and advocacy.
Attend all planning meetings for major infrastructure projects in the City, neighborhoods, and business associations and provide critique and recommendations.
Address bicycle-pedestrian safety and legal concerns and look for ways to avoid potential future issues.
Strengthened bicycle-alternative transportation program with increased bicycle and pedestrian facilities, education and awareness.
As a commuting bicyclist logging about 3,000 miles each year since the 1980s and regular bus system user and pedestrian, I am able to analyze much function of the alternative transportation system and its needs through daily use.
I look forward to interviewing with your department. Please contact me should you desire any further information before then.
Very Sincerely,
Your Signature
