About Simran Arora
Every transportation challenge tells a story about people, movement, and opportunity. I help uncover that story through data, translating complex mobility patterns into clear, actionable strategies that shape smarter, safer, and more connected communities.My work encompasses complex mobility challenges across planning, analytics, and operations, using data-informed strategies to enhance transportation system performance and safety. With degrees in Architecture and City Planning, I bring 5+ years of experience across transportation, infrastructure, real estate, demographic analysis, and economic forecasting. I blend design expertise with technical skills in GIS, programming, and data visualization to communicate solutions that work in the real world.I’m endlessly curious about planning tools, mobility data, and the hidden patterns in how people move. Give me a puzzling travel behavior trend, a complex GIS analysis, or a fresh way to visualize mobility insights, and I’m in my happy place. If you’re into geeking out over maps, mobility, or the future of cities, let’s connect.
