◼ Cambridge Systematics Experience

SIN 541611 – Management & Financial Consulting, Acquisition & Grants Management Support, & Business

Cambridge Systematics has been a leader in providing management consulting services to transportation and public works organizations in the United States and abroad for 30 years.

Our clients include Federal agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Park Service, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center; state and local governments, such as state DOTs, state police, Colorado Department of Revenue, New York State Thruway Authority, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission; regional and municipal agencies, such as metropolitan planning organizations across the country, port authorities, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Planning Council, Metropolitan Transit Development Board in San Diego, and the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Council;

overseas transportation authorities in Canada, Finland, Switzerland, Sweden, Buenos Aires, Mexico, the Netherlands; international lending institutions, such as the World Bank;

and private sector firms in the transportation, telecommunications, and financial services arenas.

As an independent, employee-owned firm, Cambridge Systematics delivers solutions that balance state-of-the-art technique with practical approaches to successful implementation.

We help our clients think critically and creatively:

• To improve their business processes and decision-making capabilities;

• To manage their infrastructure systems more cost-effectively;

• To focus on system performance and outcomes;

• To provide higher quality service to their customers; and

• To instill clarity and accountability for their decisions.

The management consulting services offered by Cambridge Systematics span a number of project areas:

• Policy and Funding Strategies – Cambridge Systematics is a national leader in assisting agencies to formulate policy options through, for example, preparation of white papers, market research studies, and investigation of different scenarios in transportation and public works investment, economic development, and environmental protection. For example, Cambridge Systematics has worked closely with the U.S. DOT to develop innovative financing mechanisms, and with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to formulate positions for the upcoming reauthorization of Federal transportation legislation.

• Improvement of Business Process, Organizational Decision-Making, and Performance Measurement – Cambridge Systematics has assisted many agencies in strategic planning, business process renewal, infrastructure management, and development of performance-based approaches to planning, programming, and system monitoring of

Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 4 infrastructure investments. This work has encompassed capital construction, maintenance, and operations; and has addressed transportation facilities and public building inventories such as courthouses. Certain of these projects have also included redefinition of organizational responsibilities for decision-making, and consultation in drafting enabling legislation. This work has been performed for state DOTs, state capital facilities agencies, and airport and toll authorities. Cambridge Systematics is now preparing a Transportation Infrastructure Management Guide for state DOTs, and developing a companion training course sponsored by the National Highway Institute.

• Program Reviews and Audits – Cambridge Systematics has conducted performance reviews or audits of agency programs, including a performance audit of an agency’s highways and rail programs according to the General Accounting Office’s (GAO) Yellow Book standards. This work has included analysis of current performance, comparison to benchmarks, and recommendation for improvement. The work has also included testimony before legislative committees and executive commissions.

Cambridge Systematics has performed these assignments for state DOTs, joint legislative audit and budget committees, and an overseas road authority.

• Decision Support Tools – Improvements in organizational and management performance often benefit from stronger capabilities in information processing and decision support systems. Cambridge Systematics designs, develops, implements, and maintains products that help clients perform their jobs better. We also help agencies align their management systems with their policy objectives and business processes.

Infrastructure management systems developed by Cambridge Systematics have been adopted by more than 40 state DOTs and several international clients. Cambridge Systematics has successfully designed and implemented several analytic tools for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the areas of intelligent transportation systems (the ITS Deployment Analysis System known as IDAS), multimodal investment analysis (Surface Transportation Efficiency Analysis System known as STEAM), and economics-based highway needs analysis (the Highway Economics Requirements System known as HERS). Specialized analytic tools (e.g., for travel demand forecasting, benefit/cost analysis, and economic impact analysis) have also been developed for several states and regions.

• Quality Assurance – Cambridge Systematics has provided quality assurance services to the Michigan DOT in support of a major information technology effort. Recently we have performed highway maintenance quality assurance projects for the Colorado DOT and the Idaho Transportation Department.

Cambridge Systematics provides expert assistance to its clients based on a clear understanding of the client’s mission, leading-edge technical expertise and practical field experience, and proven management experience.

Cambridge Systematics has more than 20 years of experience in addressing the survey needs of organizations in changing competitive environments. To fulfill the needs of various studies, Cambridge Systematics uses a variety of quantitative and qualitative research

Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 5 techniques. We provide planning survey design, sampling design, defining and refining the agenda, data collection and management, sampling, survey development, pretests and pilot surveys, data analysis services, and production of reports to detail our findings.

Survey Development and Design – Cambridge Systematics is a recognized leader in the development and design of transportation surveys. Cambridge Systematics is the author of the 1997 Travel Survey Manual, prepared for the FHWA. This manual is the definitive reference on the conduct of all types of transportation planning-related surveys, including household travel, vehicle intercept, transit on-board, establishment, and commercial vehicle surveys.

Cambridge Systematics has designed, and in many instances administered, numerous surveys for a variety of public and private organizations. This experience includes both qualitative and quantitative research for a broad range of transportation projects and services. We have experience with a broad range of survey methods, including mail, telephone, in-person, and computer-aided techniques. Cambridge Systematics often is asked to provide expert advice or assistance in survey efforts being administered by other parties for transportation-related purposes.

Cambridge Systematics also develops innovative and effective approaches to the sample, instrument, and experimental designs required for primary research efforts. In each of these areas, our approaches are carefully designed to minimize the degree of sampling error, nonresponse, and other biases that may be introduced into survey data. This careful design of sampling plans and surveys leads to reliable data. Through our experience in both survey research and statistical analysis, we can develop approaches that ensure that the data will be appropriate and sufficient for statistical and planning purposes.

Data Collection – Cambridge Systematics staff are well versed in all the phases of marketing research data collection, but in typical efforts we commonly engage the assistance of specialty firms for the most labor-intensive and specialized data collection tasks. For telephone survey projects, Cambridge Systematics usually is responsible for scripting questionnaires, reviewing pretest results, and monitoring the ongoing data collection. We generally work with a survey research contractor to provide the interviewing and coding services. Whenever possible, we try to locate survey research firms that have directly relevant subject area experience so that the interviewers are more knowledgeable and can communicate with respondents in a more effective manner.

In some instances, we conduct the fieldwork for mail surveys ourselves because these surveys often include complex questionnaires with stated-preference choice exercises and individualized forms. For large, straightforward mail survey efforts, we will usually enlist the support of a firm that specializes in this type of data collection.

For qualitative marketing research efforts, one or several of Cambridge Systematics’ highly specialized staff is assigned to moderate focus group sessions or perform in-depth, subject-specific interviews. Since our professional staff are quite knowledgeable about issues surrounding the transportation industry, this expertise is a tremendous infrastructure in this type of data collection effort. Our qualitative research efforts are conducted with the

Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 6 assistance of specialty firms that provide local recruiting functions and suitable research and viewing facilities.

Advanced Marketing Research and Analytical Techniques – To augment our basic survey services, Cambridge Systematics provides a wide range of analytical marketing research techniques to address the complex information needs of our clients. Through an extensive evaluation of clients’ specific needs, our research establishes a framework for reducing the risk involved in making costly decisions. Our research services include: new product and service design; pricing strategies; market segmentation; database marketing; market structure and opportunities; customer loyalty and satisfaction; and brand value and equity.

A number of these research services are cited below in more detail:

• Market Segmentation – To help our clients successfully target the right products and services to the right customers, Cambridge Systematics performs customized, needs-based market segmentation studies. Employing our comprehensive Unified Segmentation System, we are able to incorporate variables such as attitudes, benefits, needs, product and service usage, and demographics in our system to partition customers into distinct segments based on their definable needs. With this approach, existing and new customers can be classified into unique segments with a very high degree of accuracy.

• Customer Choice Modeling – To describe the way in which customers make decisions in the marketplace, Cambridge Systematics simulates the decision-making process using discrete choice models. The methodology uses data collected on respondents’ revealed- or stated-preferences and tradeoffs to predict the choices customers would make when presented with a set of competing products and services. Specific applications of our customer choice model include product and service design;

packaging; strategic pricing; willingness to pay; and customer loyalty and retention.

• Market Simulation and Forecasting – To simulate market response of alternative product and service designs, Cambridge Systematics develops customized simulation tools.

Demand estimates for products and services from discrete choice models are incorporated into a PC-based market simulation program that allows the user to test “what-if” scenarios of various product and service offerings. Specific applications of this tool include: optimal product and service design; optimal pricing and packaging strategies; target marketing; and market demand and revenue forecasts.

• Database Marketing – To increase the effectiveness of direct marketing activities, Cambridge Systematics helps clients extract as much information as possible from their customer and prospect databases. We develop and apply analytical marketing models to maximize the profitability of solicitations by reducing costs, improving response, and identifying new opportunities for cross-selling.

Cambridge Systematics has extensive experience in infrastructure management for public sector agencies such as the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and state DOTS. These initiatives require transportation agencies to implement projects in four separate but related areas: policy goals and objectives, planning and programming, program delivery, and information technology. Therefore, the success of these efforts is dependent on the agency’s ability to integrate a set of projects that reaches across departments and across disciplines (e.g., planning, engineering, maintenance, accounting, systems management, etc.). Cambridge Systematics works with clients to develop comprehensive infrastructure management plans and ensure that various business improvement initiatives are complementary to each other and performed in a logical sequence. As a MOBIS vendor, Cambridge Systematics will be positioned to assist public sector agencies with their efforts to improve program integration and project management services.

Cambridge Systematics has also completed several project aimed specifically at improving program delivery and project management activities within transportation agencies. For example, for the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), Cambridge Systematics provided an analysis of Massport’s approach to the delivery of the Logan 2000 Project, a $1.2 billion modernization of Logan Airport. The analysis looked at program management issues, including the organization structure, processes, contractual arrangements, and infrastructure and benchmarking the project to other similar mega projects. For NCHRP, Cambridge Systematics prepared a synthesis report on the current state-of-the-practice for capital budgeting and capital program management by transportation agencies. Approaches to meeting Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) requirements, use of management systems and other quantitative tools, and cash flow management and financing techniques were addressed. For the New Jersey DOT, Cambridge Systematics worked to develop organizational, process, and management tool improvements in order to deliver capital projects more cost-effectively and expeditiously. As part of this project, a benchmarking analysis of other state DOTs and transportation agencies was conducted to measure New Jersey DOT’s performance relative to like organizations. Cambridge Systematics designed a project management system within the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) that helped to fulfill the agency’s objective of improved communication, cooperation, and teamwork. The system resulted in improvements to project development timetables and end product quality.

We currently are finishing a national study to synthesize current practice in infrastructure management, develop a conceptual infrastructure management approach, and recommend a prioritized research program. We are about to begin the final phase of this project, which entails the development of a first-generation Infrastructure Management Guide for United States transportation agencies. This guide will define the concepts and a methodology by which agencies can evaluate their current infrastructure management practice, identify areas for change, develop a comprehensive plan for improvement, and track progress toward defined targets.

Cambridge Systematics, Inc. 8

We also have recently completed three infrastructure management plans. For the Pennsylvania DOT, Cambridge Systematics developed a vision and implementation plan for the integration of all infrastructure management activities within the agency. This project examined existing organizational, information technology, and process-related elements. For the Colorado DOT, Cambridge Systematics formulated a departmental plan to enhance the current infrastructure management process, identified additional elements needed, and laid out a more systematic, strategic approach to both infrastructure management and the Department’s need to satisfy the infrastructure valuation and reporting requirements of GASB Statement 34. For VTrans, Cambridge Systematics performed an organizational review, defined a vision of infrastructure management at VTrans, and developed an implementation plan to achieve this vision. We also are currently conducting a project for the Arizona DOT to develop a transportation infrastructure management system. This project encompasses work in business process and organizational review, management system and data integration, and responses to GASB 34 standards.

In addition to this work on infrastructure management at the state level, Cambridge Systematics also has experience with infrastructure management strategies at the major facility level. Currently, we are helping the Utah DOT implement an infrastructure management program for 17 miles of the newly reconstructed I-15 corridor.
