Money to adequately fund services seems to be always scarce.  Savvy transit providers are continuously looking for more funding; sometimes just to maintain their current service or to make capital investments.  Often communities are looking for new funding sources or making better use of existing ones.  TJR Advisors can assist your organization in tapping funding sources through:

Developing grant proposals

Developing local transit election approaches

Developing partnering strategies with other entities such as businesses and colleges

“Empty vehicles…we need a grid system of routes…we need BRT.” 

How often do elected officials, board members, and people in general make similar comments?  The heart of every transit system, the soul of its existence, is to serve people.  Let TJR Advisors help you to increase ridership through:

New system feasibility and start-up

Are you considering a new service?

Current transit system assessment

Do you or your stakeholders think your system should be re-designed?

Long range and strategic system development

Where do you want your system to be in 10, 15, 20 years? 

How will you develop your system to stay ahead of changes in your community?

Assess the feasibility of new transit passenger and operating facilities

Assess your marketing strategy

“Be more like a business…be more efficient.”

Everyone these days, it seems, is looking to “do more with less.”  Transit is no different.  TJR Advisors can:

Assess and implement the use of private contractors instead of in-house personnel

Is the use of outside contractors a potential answer for your organization?  We can assess that and, if the answer is “yes”, help you implement the solution by guiding you through the process from RFP to start-up.

Assess organization and management

Having a hard time attracting good talent to your organization?  Or keeping them? 

Is there a push to merge or better coordinate with another transportation organization in your community?

Developing innovative financing options to maximize utility of existing funding

Need to replace vehicles but you don’t have enough capital funding?

Or do you have too much capital funding and not enough local match?
