David LeBreton passes the Professional Transportation Planner Certification Exam

DE’s David LeBreton recently passed the Professional Transportation Planner (PTP) certification exam. David is now one of seven Louisiana Professional Engineers (P.E.) that double as both a Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) and a PTP.

According to Principal and Vice President, Frank Liang, P.E., PTOE, who oversees DE’s Transportation Division, “this additional accreditation to our team provides us the opportunity to assist our clients with supplementary transportation planning services. We are proud to have David as our second PTP on staff and one of the few P.E.s in Louisiana with the PTOE and PTP designation.”

The PTP certification represents a significant achievement in the transportation industry and designates David as a professional who has demonstrated a commitment to high standards of professionalism and proficiency in transportation practices. 

As a Senior Project Manager at DE, David began his engineering career at the firm in 2007 after graduating from Louisiana State University the same year with a degree in Civil Engineering. He is a registered P.E. in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. David’s expertise is in traffic studies, traffic operations, roadway and drainage design, and construction phase services. He is the National Policy/Legislative Committee Chair for Deep South ITE.

We do more than design roadways. We plan them, too.

Roadway widening, a dedicated bike lane, and traffic signal modifications are a few scope elements to David Drive Corridor Improvements, a project DE is designing for Jefferson Parish based on the recommendations that we provided to the RPC under a Stage 0 Feasibility Access Management Study for this corridor. From transportation planning and traffic engineering to design, DE has managed all phases for this corridor improvement that reaches from Veterans Boulevard to West Napoleon Avenue.
