For more than 29 years, I have planned and implemented public transit services for bus and rail systems across the United States. With the support of a team of transit scheduling professionals, Nelson\Nygaard has conducted numerous comprehensive operations analyses and system redesigns, taking them from concept to street-ready reality. Our exceptional ability to quickly assimilate an agency’s operating conditions and tailor the team’s approach to system design has been essential to the successful implementation of our clients’ projects. The Nelson\Nygaard team has extensive scheduling and run-cutting experience using manual methods as well as HASTUS, TRAPEZE-FX, and Blockbuster scheduling software. This mix of manual and computer-assisted scheduling experience allows us to grasp the mathematical principles of transit scheduling while employing technology to speed processes and outputs. Our team's scheduling experience gives us the unique perspective of understanding the operational impacts of decisions made early in the system planning process, as well as corrective actions when those impacts have not been considered. Glen and his team’s adaptability have also allowed us to provide day-to-day scheduling support for clients experiencing vacancies within their scheduling ranks.
