For this project, Grimail Crawford evaluated multi-modal alternatives in Florida’s most densely populated county. The options evaluated included fixed route bus service, bus rapid transit, and fixed rail guideway. Technical elements included FTA New Starts Analysis, ridership forecasts, capital and operations and maintenance costs, candidate systems evaluations, and public involvement. The project concluded with a recommendation to move forward with a small-scale, fixed guideway route and a larger-scale, bus rapid transit system. The project also involved a large public involvement program, including neighborhood meetings and presentations to civic groups, government officials and special interests. > Back to Top

For this project, Grimail Crawford was responsible for the development of capital and operations, and maintenance costs for over 100 miles of transit alternatives. In each corridor, light rail transit, bus rapid transit, and traditional bus service systems were considered and cost-estimated. > Back to Top

Grimail Crawford was responsible for capital and operations, and maintenance cost estimates for monorail, bus rapid transit, traditional bus, and shuttle bus services between the Triangle Transit Authority’s regional rail system and the Raleigh Durham International Airport. We also developed an operational system plan for the preferred alternative of bus shuttles. > Back to Top

Under our miscellaneous services contract with the City of Clearwater, Grimail Crawford recently completed a citywide review of transit services. This study was intended to review transit services currently provided by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) within the city to ensure that residents and businesses were adequately served by PSTA bus routes. One particular concern was to ensure that PSTA routes effectively serviced new developments and/or redevelopments occurring in the city. The study has resulted in increased dialogue with PSTA, and amendments to specific routes to better serve businesses and economic development initiatives. > Back to Top
