Turning data into solutions.

Sam Schwartz leverages user-focused metrics to communicate the value of transforming transportation.

We combine our core expertise in transportation planning with industry-leading data analysis and visualization skills to solve transportation challenges both technical and strategic. Traditional transportation modes and, increasingly, new technology-enabled options are consistently seeking to enhance service, maximize efficiency, and improve the customer experience. With an ever-growing cache of information being collected on the movement of people, big data sets can be leveraged to analyze transportation system operations and effectiveness—and the user’s everyday experience—in ways that were not previously possible.

When used strategically, data is also an integral part of creating a narrative around change: educating stakeholders, easing concerns, and building support for new initiatives. Sam Schwartz’s team of transportation analysts and data scientists knows how to prioritize, analyze, and visualize information to identify patterns, focus on your key issues, evaluate the most effective solutions, and obtain the support needed to implement them.
