For over 30 years, TMD has helped transit systems rethink their services and operations to improve public mobility and build more livable communities.
Our demand-side approach to corridor planning starts with a rigorous assessment of existing and projected market segments, and consumer expectations.
Efficient, reliable transit service is heavily dependent on effective transit scheduling. TMD’s full-service scheduling practice utilizes Trapeze™, Optibus™, and Hastus™ scheduling software.
At TMD, we leverage our industry expertise to ensure that optimizing transit operations is a fundamental part of every project we undertake.
Frontline personnel, especially bus and train operators, are the backbone of any transit operating agency, and operator availability is a determining factor in the service levels and quality that can be delivered.
First/last mile strategies are a critical part of complete transit networks, making public transit more accessible and convenient by providing options that complement fixed transit modes.
TMD brings thoughtful and robust methodologies to both independent fare studies and our transit system reimagining efforts, drawing from our firsthand transit service management and operations experience.
TMD understands that realistic and rigorous financial planning is vital to the successful implementation of any proposed service changes.
Title VI is an integral part of TMD’s comprehensive approach to service planning, from transit system reimagining, operations reviews, and fleet/facility planning, to fare policy studies (pricing, media, access) and public engagement efforts.
TMD has worked with transit agencies on a wide variety of facility planning and optimization projects, focusing on the interaction of transit facilities with customers, operations, and the built environment.
At TMD, we recognize the importance of translating our findings and recommendations into dynamic and compelling visual messages to inform and engage stakeholders and the public.
TMD has provided planning and scheduling support to a variety of agencies transitioning to zero emission buses or ZEBs.
