Transit Agencies Turn to Decision Lens

March 2, 2015

Decision Lens announced it is currently enabling over 25 different state departments of transportation (DOTs), transit agencies, and commercial transportation companies, as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation, to improve project prioritization and resource allocation for performance-based planning and programming. With work in both government and commercial sectors, Decision Lens is empowering organizations to optimize their available resources and to prioritize projects while comparing relative benefits across project types such as highway preservation or capacity expansion.

Contributing to the success of the Decision Lens software are two experts offering a combined 30 years of industry experience. Michelle Maggiore, P.E., director of the Decision Lens Transportation Business Group and Kevin Ford, Ph.D., technical lead of transportation at Decision Lens bring knowledge in transportation policy, strategic and long-range planning, and risk management. Additionally, both parties provide industry recommendations and advocate for policy change on Capitol Hill.

“We are very enthusiastic about the rapid adoption of Decision Lens by this critical sector of the U.S. economy. The breadth of agencies and the range of uses, from capital planning to budget allocation, risk mitigation, and IT project selection indicates the degree of importance to which transportation organizations are achieving success with Decision Lens. We are helping dozens of cities, states, companies and national agencies improve and advance their work,” said John Kealey, CEO of Decision Lens. “Our software equips our customers with the knowledge they need to select their highest value projects and stand by their decisions.”
