City of Santa Ana | First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study
<br />RFP NO. 25-029 | Appendix A: Key Staff Resumes & Support Staff Qualifications
<br />OCTA, South Orange County Rail Station Feasibility Study,
<br />Orange County, CA
<br />Project Manager. Marie led this study to assess the feasibility
<br />of a potential new Metrolink rail station in South Orange County.
<br />The study included developing a Purpose and Need Statement, rail
<br />operational analysis, ridership estimation, performance metrics, and
<br />stakeholder engagement. The feasibility study was developed in
<br />coordination with Metrolink and cities located within the study area.
<br />Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, Line-by-Line Analysis, Santa Monica, CA
<br />Project Manager. Marie was responsible for technical direction and
<br />management of staff, subcontractors, schedule, and budget. The
<br />project involved a detailed analysis of the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus
<br />network and recommended strategies for improvement. Ridership
<br />data was gathered via on-board ride check and passenger survey.
<br />Recommendations included route restructuring and expansion
<br />of rapid (arterial bus rapid transit) services, as well as potential
<br />development of a downtown circulator route.
<br />El Paso County, Master Thoroughfare Plan, El Paso, TX
<br />Deputy Project Manager. Marie was responsible for the overall
<br />development of a thoroughfare plan to guide El Paso County’s future
<br />multimodal transportation network. She managed the technical
<br />analysis, stakeholder outreach, and development of the proposed
<br />roadway network, including bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and the
<br />project evaluation and prioritization process.
<br />Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro), Transit
<br />Development Plan (Connections2025), Austin, TX
<br />Planner and Public Involvement Lead. Marie was responsible
<br />for stakeholder identification and communication, public meetings
<br />and events, online surveys, electronic newsletters, and outreach
<br />documentation. She worked with the project team to develop
<br />bus network recommendations that responded to community
<br />concerns while improving ridership. The project involved a 10-year
<br />bus restructuring plan for the CapMetro transit network, including
<br />expansion of the MetroRapid system and frequent bus network,
<br />innovative service zones, and express services in managed lanes.
<br />City of Santa Maria, Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) Fleet Rollout Plan for
<br />Santa Maria Regional Transit (SMRT), Santa Maria, CA
<br />Zero Emissions Planning Lead. Marie provided technical direction,
<br />oversaw the modeling and analysis, and guided the development
<br />and production of deliverables. This plan created a roadmap for
<br />SMRT on its transition from a diesel to all-electric bus fleet by 2040,
<br />consistent with California Air Resources Board Innovative Clean
<br />Transit (ICT) requirements. Operational, financial, logistics, and
<br />maintenance concerns were included.
<br />SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine), Refueled Before/After Study,
<br />Thousand Palms, CA
<br />Deputy Project Manager. Marie led a technical transit analysis
<br />for SunLine’s bus services and development of reports and
<br />presentations. Through this study, SunLine sought to understand
<br />the impacts of a service redesign implemented during the COVID-19
<br />pandemic and gather information on changes in customer needs
<br />and travel patterns. Key initiatives included implementation of
<br />new mobility hubs, expanded microtransit service, and bus stop
<br />improvements.
<br />San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), Coast
<br />Rail Corridor Service Implementation Plan and Passenger Rail
<br />Improvement Study, San Luis Obispo, CA
<br />Deputy Project Manager/Planner. Marie was responsible for
<br />overseeing technical analysis and project deliverables. The study
<br />included a plan for integrated intercity rail and bus service within
<br />the Central Coast area consistent with the California State Rail Plan,
<br />along with longer-term plans for potential commuter rail service.
<br />This two-part study sets a path forward for improved rail and bus
<br />service through California’s Central Coast, including Santa Barbara,
<br />San Luis Obispo, and Monterey Counties. SLOCOG contracted with
<br />HDR to develop both intercity and commuter rail plans, including bus
<br />connections to Central Valley rail services.
<br />Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Mobility Hub Guidelines,
<br />Dallas, TX
<br />Project Manager. Marie worked with DART to develop a framework
<br />for implementing upgraded mobility hub features throughout the
<br />DART service area. Key tasks included a comprehensive facility
<br />inventory; developing a hub location evaluation and prioritization
<br />system based on multivariate criteria analyses; establishing mobility
<br />hub typologies and proposed features; and preparation of maps and
<br />public-facing documents. HDR is helping to initiate the Mobility Hubs
<br />Program as outlined in the 2045 Transit System Plan. Phase 1 of this
<br />program entails a comprehensive study of the existing transit system
<br />and development of Mobility Hub Guidelines, including a location
<br />analysis and typologies for transit nodes in the DART service area.
<br />Value to City of Santa Ana
<br />Marie has worked with bus systems across the
<br />nation to improve their service effectiveness and
<br />efficiency. Her expertise in both technical design
<br />development and communications allows her to
<br />develop studies that respond directly to community/
<br />client needs and convey complex information in
<br />straightforward, understandable ways.
