Get to know Transportation Planner Chris Mulroy.
What was your first job?
I was a cashier at the Syracuse University Bookstore.
What did you study in college?
I studied Supply Chain Management as an undergrad. I always got blank stares when I would tell family and friends, until the spring of 2020, when no one could find toilet paper. After that, the stares were just a little less blank.
What is your favorite part of working at DVRPC?
Collaboration is essential to our success at DVRPC, as it is in our nine-county region. Our colleagues' unique skills and perspectives enhance our organization, allowing us to cultivate ideas and design initiatives that better serve our region.
What 3 words best describe you?

What is something colleagues don’t know about you?
I’ve been a vegetarian for over ten years. I try not to be annoying about it…I hope it’s working.
What is your favorite leisure activity?
Playing tennis, well, actually sitting on the beach.
What is the best music you’ve heard recently?
Recently, I’ve been listening to the album Tigers Blood by Waxahatchee, and by “recently,” I mean it’s been on repeat for the past year.
Are you a cat or dog person?
You can’t make me choose.
