We evaluate performance, mobility, accessibility and economic impacts of public transit systems in a multi-modal context. We work for national, state/provincial and local agencies, as well as transit operators across the US, Canada, and abroad on projects related to bus, BRT, streetcar, commuter rail, light rail and heavy rail transit. We also apply our expertise to analyze transit in the evolving transportation ecosystem.

  3. Analyzing transit performance for investment and planning decision support,

  6. Evaluating land development and value capture finance opportunities associated with transit,
  7. Measuring public cost and tax revenues associated with changes in transit service, and
