Your Partner in Delivering High-Impact Urban Mobility Transformation

An Evidence-Based, Integrated Approach

In urban mobility, delivering true transformation requires more than just technical solutions. It demands understanding intricate systems, building consensus across diverse stakeholders, and demonstrating clear value in politically charged environments. Liam Blank provides the rare combination of deep analytical insight and pragmatic strategic execution required to turn ambitious visions into quantifiable realities.

Every challenge is met with rigorous data analysis and modeling to uncover true bottlenecks and project real-world outcomes. We believe in systemic thinking – connecting policy, governance, operations, and land use. This integrated perspective ensures solutions are not only effective but also implementable and sustainable.

Our process prioritizes:

• Understanding your unique constraints and political context.
• Applying data-driven insights to identify levers for transformation.
• Developing strategic roadmaps that build consensus and momentum.
• Relentlessly focusing on quantifiable results that improve lives and strengthen systems.

Foundation in Rigor & Systems Thinking

Liam Blank's background in Urban Planning with a specialization in Transportation Planning (Rutgers University) laid the groundwork for understanding the complexities of urban systems. This academic foundation is coupled with hands-on experience conducting intricate analyses from the ground up – including applying physics and engineering principles to railway performance modeling and leveraging modern data science tools.

This unique blend ensures that strategic recommendations are always grounded in technical feasibility and empirical truth.

Bridging External Insight and Internal Goals

While not operating within an agency structure day-to-day, Liam's experience advising, advocating for, and collaborating closely with agencies like NYC DOT and the MTA and legislative bodies offers a distinct advantage. This external perspective allows for challenging assumptions, identifying unconventional solutions, and driving change without being constrained by internal inertia.

It demonstrates the ability to effect significant progress within the existing system while pushing boundaries for future transformation. Liam's track record of getting major proposals evaluated and landmark legislation passed speaks volumes.
