Sam Gregory

Sam graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a B.S. in civil engineering in June 2026. At Cal Poly, Sam served as President of the ITE student chapter, leading the group to win the ITE International Student Chapter Award. He competed with numerous American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) project teams and played trombone in the Cal Poly Symphony. For his senior project, Sam prepared 80% design plans for a coastal bike path in the Central Coast along Highway 1. He also authored a research paper in his senior year on the impacts of inequity in engineering and ways to remedy harmful infrastructure.

Sam discovered his interest in transportation in high school while learning about infrastructure in underserved communities and driving his family’s 1996 Volvo 850 on his 16th birthday. This passion grew as he picked up road cycling in college, culminating in a post-graduation bikepacking trip down the Pacific Coast of the U.S. Now, Sam is eager to make an impact in transportation through safe, comfortable, and accessible designs. He also loves the technical aspects of traffic analysis and importance of planning work, and he hopes to leverage his interests to develop a broad understanding of the field. In his spare time, Sam loves to play hackysack, read, and listen to records.
