No strongly automatable task in the current data release.

Augmentable tasks

Work where AI assists rather than replaces — the productivity frontier of this role.

Define or update information such as urban boundaries or classification of roadways.56
Interpret data from traffic modeling software, geographic information systems, or associated databases.54
Analyze information from traffic counting programs.53

Collaborate with engineers to research, analyze, or resolve complex transportation design issues.21
Collaborate with other professionals to develop sustainable transportation strategies at the local, regional, or national level.23
Design new or improved transport infrastructure, such as junction improvements, pedestrian projects, bus facilities, or car parking areas.27

What this means

A score of 40 puts Transportation Planners in the second quartile of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this level is about the mix: 0 of 20 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 15 augmentable, and 5 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

One next move: adopt AI deliberately on the augmentable tasks and build visible evidence of the durable ones.

Lower-exposure adjacent roles
