Al Bolan brings over 40 years of experience in transit scheduling. He spent the first part of his career working for Coast Mountain Bus Company (CMBC), in Vancouver, BC, where Al was an integral part of numerous service expansions, rail introductions, and a project to streamline transit schedules, which saved CMBC $30M annually. Al also worked for Trapeze^TM as an application support analyst helping hundreds of schedulers, planners, and IT staff utilize their scheduling and runcutting tools, while offering techniques for better solutions. During this time, Al acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge in Trapeze^TM database structure and implementation. With TMD, Al has also worked in both Optibus^TM and Trapeze^TM, providing scheduling training, developing timetables, and optimizing services. His goal with every client is to provide an efficient transit service for customers while ensuring cost-effective solutions. A recent running time analysis project at The COMET in South Carolina led to an OTP (On-Time Performance) increase of over 50%.
