Active Transportation Leader

About Our Webinar Presenter

Mr. Bertulis taught bikeway design classes in Europe for 3 years from 2004 to 2007 and then has been teaching bikeway design classes in the US since 2008. He is a nationally and internationally known leader in designing for active transportation, complete streets, and traffic engineering. He has 26 years of active transportation planning and design experience in the private, public, academic, and nonprofit sectors. He is a licensed professional engineer (PE) and professional traffic operations engineer (PTOE) and he has both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Civil Engineering.

Mr. Bertulis has taught dozens of bikeway design webinars and workshops in three languages in six countries around the world from Scotland to Mexico. He was also an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, for two and a half years. There he co-taught a class entitled “Planning for Walking and Biking."

In 2006, at the ProWalk/ProBike conference in Madison, Wisconsin, Mr. Bertulis coined the term “Advisory Bike Lanes.” At the April 16th APBP webinar, along with co-presenter NEU Professor Peter Furth, they rebranded the term “Advisory Lanes.”

Mr. Bertulis has designed more than 100 miles of bikeways, pedestrian-friendly corridors, and traffic-calmed roadways. He has led protected intersection designs, cycle track projects, road diet projects, and traffic analyses using Synchro, Sidra, and Vissim. His work includes coordinating and retiming traffic signals on two dozen corridors as well as leading the development of more than a dozen Vision Zero, active transportation, and complete streets plans. He has a significant focus on tactical urbanism and quick-build projects that lead to future grant-funded CIP projects. One project he led and completed in 2024 led to $23 million in funding from the California Active Transportation Program (ATP).

Mr. Bertulis is a former board member for the Association for Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) and has been on the Bicycle Technical Committee (BTC) for the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD) for the last seven years. He has had his papers published twice in the peer-reviewed journal the Transportation Research Record (TRR). His international portfolio and global perspective reflect his commitment to advancing sustainable transportation worldwide.
