Ivan Ulberg, PE Senior Transportation Engineer
Ivan is a Senior Transportation Engineer in our DOT Group after spending 30 years with the Montana Department of Transportation; most recently as the Design Engineer for the Traffic and Safety Bureau. Throughout his career, Ivan has successfully integrated the aspects of behavior, safety, and nominal vs. substantive design. In 1994 he began his career in the Safety Management Section where he became familiar with the conventional aspects of a crash mitigation program, identifying crash trends, proposing countermeasures, and calculating benefit/cost ratios and programmed safety improvements on an annualized basis. As a project engineer, and later manager of the Design Section of the Traffic and Safety Bureau, Ivan implemented many of FHWAs proven safety countermeasures along Montana roadways, often as programmatic approaches to statewide crash trends. As MDT’s Access Management Engineer, he rewrote policy that trended away from individual property issues to corridor-wide plans that focused on safety and operations. Ivan also has experience in leading the exploration of new and innovative solutions for active transportation features that foster a safe user experience on the state highway system, particularly in urban areas; he is able to stay current and relevant through his membership in the National Committee for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD) and time spent participating in annual NACTO Designing Cities Conferences.
Ivan applied his transportation safety expertise to many, many projects across Montana. Recent projects include:
- Intersection design of 9th S NW & Watson Coulee Rd, Great Falls, Montana
- Road design and access control from Red Lodge to Roberts, Montana
- Roundabout design at the intersection of Rimrock Rd & 62nd St W, Billings, MT
- Traffic engineering for multiple projects including the traffic signals in Big Sky, Montana
