Hayden Atchley
Education: BYU (Bachelor’s and Master’s – Civil Engineering)
Current Employment: UDOT, Travel Demand Model Developer
Greatest Interests about Travel Demand Modeling and Forecasting: I enjoy improving the tools (including the TDMs) to be able to more effectively answer transportation policy questions
Favorite Modeling Project(s): My career is not very long yet so I haven't had too many projects, but I've done a couple "what if" analyses comparing different land use policies against different roadway and transit infrastructure and those were interesting
Valuable Resources, Tools or Software: Python and related tools/packages (uv, polars, etc.), Git/GitHub
Hobbies and Interests: I play French Horn in a community orchestra, I love watching movies and musicals (and sometimes movie musicals!)
