Sam Schwartz is thrilled to announce that Danielle Joyce, PTP, RSP has joined the firm as Principal + General Manager of the Florida office.

Danielle has more than 20 years of experience in the transportation consulting industry, including a decade in the Tampa Bay Area. In Florida, she has worked for agencies across the state, successfully leading projects encompassing complete streets planning and design, innovative concept evaluations and development, public involvement, safety audits/assessments, traffic analyses, and bike and pedestrian planning. A Vision Zero advocate, Danielle is passionate about delivering safe and equitable solutions.

“Danielle will be a welcome addition to our team in Tampa,” said Michael A. Shamma, PE, President and CEO of Sam Schwartz. “Public agencies and private developers in the Sunshine State and beyond know and trust Danielle as an expert on creating great places, redesigning streets, and engaging thoughtfully with members of the public. Building on our widely-regarded civil engineering capabilities, including in drainage, permitting, signalization timing, and traffic studies, I am excited for the continued growth of our Florida office under her leadership.”

“In Sam Schwartz, I’ve found a group of practitioners who believe what I do: that traffic engineering and urban design is about more than concrete and asphalt,” Danielle Joyce added. “It’s about creating the safe, sustainable, and just neighborhoods all of us deserve. I look forward to leading the Tampa team as we catalyze transformative change for more communities throughout the Southeast.”
