BOCA RATON, Fla. – Amid rapid growth in South Florida and rising demand for infrastructure, DRMP has expanded its presence in the region with the addition of Conroy Jacobs, AICP, PMP, as principal transportation planner in its Boca Raton office.
In this role, Jacobs will focus on delivering high-quality transportation planning services, supporting project delivery, and strengthening client relationships throughout Florida. His priorities include leading corridor and subarea studies, advancing multimodal and safety initiatives, supporting Project Development & Environment (PD&E) and pre-PD&E efforts, and ensuring DRMP’s work is technically sound and responsive to community needs. He will also support strategic growth by identifying new opportunities, contributing to pursuits, and helping further strengthen DRMP’s position as a trusted partner in transportation planning.
“Florida’s rapid growth is driving demand for corridor planning, multimodal solutions, and safety focused studies,” Jacobs said. “My approach is relationship driven and focused on aligning stakeholder needs with funding, safety priorities, and implementation pathways to move projects forward.”
Jacobs brings more than 15 years of experience leading multimodal corridor studies, safety projects, land development, and PD&E efforts across Florida. His work has helped the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), transportation planning organizations (TPOs), and local governments deliver fundable transportation solutions that improve safety, mobility, and quality of life. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with these agencies as an internal staff member and consultant, advancing projects from visioning through implementation, including securing funding and guiding them through planning, environmental, and design phases.
“I will help to strengthen the connection between planning and implementation by delivering studies that lead directly to fundable and constructible projects,” Jacobs said. “I also plan to leverage my relationships across Florida to expand DRMP’s presence, while mentoring staff and supporting a scalable, high-performing planning team.”
Jacobs said DRMP’s strong reputation in transportation and its ability to connect planning, engineering, and implementation aligns with the kind of work he looks forward to contributing to.
“I am excited about the opportunity to be part of growing a transportation planning practice and PD&E within a firm that already has strong engineering and surveying capabilities,” he said. “That alignment creates real potential to deliver projects that move efficiently through the different project phases efficiently.”
DRMP Planning Group Leader Alia Awwad, PE, said Jacobs will be a strong addition to the team.
“Conroy brings a unique ability to connect big-picture planning with the realities of implementation,” Awwad said. “He understands how to navigate complexity, whether that’s aligning stakeholders, identifying funding pathways, or moving projects forward. That perspective will be a real asset to our clients and our team.”
