Michael R. King

Founder of TrafficCalmer

Mr. King founded the consulting practice TrafficCalmer in 1998, after he was the first Director of Traffic Calming at the New York City Department of Transportation. The first contract was as a visiting scholar at the Research Institute for Regional and Urban Development in Dortmund, Germany. It is here that Mr. King solidified his desire to repurpose cities away from cars. Following long associations with Nelson\Nygaard and Buro Happold, he re-opened TrafficCalmer in 2018 to provide unfettered advice and expertise. The mission is to work with progressive cities, campuses, and NGOs to advance a green mobility ethos. Climate change is real and our mobility habits are partially responsible. The city of tomorrow must be re-envisioned for those living and prospering in it, not for those driving through it.

Mr. King’s portfolio includes complete streets, design guides, mobility networks, tactical urbanism, transit stations, urban design, vision zero, accessibility (ADA) and workshops. He has organized 48 Real Intersection Design workshops since 2000. He has worked in 20 states and 24 countries on five continents.

Highlights include:
• 1st national street design guide, NACTO Urban Street Design Guide
• 1st Director of Traffic Calming at NYC DOT
