      Transit Planning Leader & Co-lead Sports and Resorts

      Leading the company's transit and venue mobility planning forays around North America (Transit) and globally for events. Transit Planning lends itself easily to event mobility operations planning for venues, resort areas, beach communities and major parks. Creating services that promote a seamless visitor experience - whether at a beach resort, a ski resort or an event - removes an obstacle that can have significant negative impact. Our goal is to support a client by helping define and create transport systems that improve access and create the opportunity to travel without a vehicle. Show less
