Cinthia Téllez Silva is a Community Planner at Michael Baker International’s Wisconsin office, with over a decade of experience advancing people-centered transportation and community planning initiatives. Her work is grounded in transit advocacy, safer street design, and equitable public engagement, with a strong focus on improving access and mobility for historically underrepresented communities—particularly immigrant and Spanish-speaking populations. Cinthia brings a community-first approach to planning, helping translate lived experience and local knowledge into actionable strategies that support reliable transit, walkable streets, and inclusive public spaces. In her day-to-day work, she collaborates with public agencies, community-based organizations, and advocacy partners to advance Complete Streets, multimodal networks, and neighborhood-scale improvements that integrate art, culture, and place-making. She is passionate about building trust, fostering participation, and ensuring that transportation investments reflect the voices and needs of the communities they serve.
