Summary

Most people have never heard of transportation planning, or if they have, they equate it with what travel agents do for cruise lines and airlines. However, what we do at KKO has very little in common with travel agents. We answer the questions “if we build it will they come,” and “how can we get more people to use transit” for passenger railroads and transit systems throughout the United States.

KKO and Associates is a small consulting firm specializing in transportation planning and management consulting for transit authorities and private companies. Examples of projects I have worked on include the operational analysis and costing study for the Lowell-Nashua commuter rail extension for New Hampshire DOT, the development and adjustment of commuter rail schedules on the MBTA Old Colony lines to anticipate new service on the Greenbush Line, the development of a thirty year rolling stock and planning vision for the former New Haven Railroad in Connecticut which involved building a model to track equipment requirements and ridership forecasts, and the audit of mechanical failure and accident reporting for bus operations at the MBTA. I am currently working on evaluating the model outputs for ridership forecasts for the Hartford-Manchester/Vernon Bus Rapid Transit Feasibility Study for CRCOG and the Connecticut DOT and developing improvement packages for the Worcester Service Expansion Study. These projects illustrate the variety and breadth of the work that we do at KKO.
