I do not believe that I have either
a potential conflict of interest or source of bias in regard
to serving on the Panel. However, I wish to disclose that
I am currently serving in a paid consultant capacity on
an FTA-funded study of local transit agency participation
in the federally required Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) process. The FTA contract is with AECOM, but the primary
responsibility for preparing the study has been subcontracted
to the Parsons Brinkerhoff company.
As a subcontractor to Parsons, I am one
of the three principal staff members doing the research
and preparing the report to FTA. I do not expect to be making
any statements about the project that would be attributed
to me personally. The report presented to FTA later this
year will be the product of the consultant team. I do expect
that my name will appear on the report as part of the team.
I believe this consultant assignment will
make me more valuable to the CIGP Panel assignment.
