Summary
Nico Koenig is a transportation safety specialist and community mobility planner with nine years of professional experience and a 15-year background in community-based engagement across North America, Europe, and Southern Africa. He blends urban and regional planning expertise (Master’s, Queen’s) with adult education and community development practice to design inclusive active transportation programs and public engagement strategies. Currently at the City of Guelph, he has also supported Canada’s first National Active Transportation Strategy through stakeholder engagement and policy research. His career spans hands-on program delivery—training librarians, coordinating justice-access projects, and running international education programs—which gives him a rare ability to translate policy into practical, community-centered implementation. Based in Kingston, Ontario, he is skilled at building coalitions and curricula that lift up marginalized voices in urban mobility planning.
