Modern Transport Solutions, LLC
                    Meeting Today's Challenges with Tomorrow's Solutions

 
 
 
For any particular project, MTS staff identifies the needed capabilities to produce a quality product.
If such capabilities do not exist on our staff, we seek the best possible candidates from a host of planners and engineers who will work with us on a project-by-project basis. Many of these professionals have recently retired and thus bring with them decades of experience in areas where such experience is critical to developing solutions that can be implemented. The project team works closely with the client to make sure that expectations are satisfied and schedules are met. The MTS team excels at explaining often complex ideas to non-technical audiences, thus we often participate with the client in outreach and information meetings to achieve an understanding of what is being proposed. Together, our many decades of experience in transportation planning and decision making, combined with our state-of-the-art approach to problem solving, provide an excellent foundation for providing clients with solutions they can implement.

From 1983 to 1988, Dr. Meyer was Director of Transportation Planning and Development for Massachusetts where he was responsible for statewide planning, project development, traffic engineering, and transportation research. Prior to this, he was a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at M.I.T. Dr. Meyer has written over 200 technical articles and has authored or co-authored numerous texts on transportation planning and policy, including a college textbook for McGraw Hill entitled Urban Transportation Planning: A Decision Oriented Approach. He was the author of Transportation Congestion and Mobility: A Toolbox for Transportation Officials, a book that focuses on transportation actions that can be implemented to enhance mobility, including travel demand management actions. He is an active member of numerous professional organizations, and has chaired committees relating to transportation planning, public transportation, environmental impact analysis, transportation policy, transportation education, and intermodal transportation. In 2006, he was Chairman of Executive Committee of the Transportation Research Board. Dr. Meyer has conducted numerous research and consulting studies that relate to a range of transportation issues. Road safety and planning: Research and consulting studies on how to consider traffic safety more fully in the transportation planning process, ranging from the identification of appropriate performance measures to defining cost effective counter measures. Statewide and metropolitan transportation planning: Responsibility for, and research/studies on, the development of transportation plans that importantly considered the latest policy guidance from government and sponsoring agencies. These planning efforts have been located throughout the world. Transportation policy analysis: Research and consulting studies on a range of policy topics, with special emphasis on guidance on how to achieve policy goals. Policy topics have included transportation and: energy, economic development, sustainability, innovative finance, community quality of life, air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, equity and freight. Transportation demand management (TDM): Research to define TDM in the 1970s and 1980s, primarily focused on strategies to influence the magnitude and timing of travel demand. Research and consulting studies on the characteristics of specific TDM strategies—parking, pricing, transit service, flexible work hours, and land use. Climate change and system adaptation: Foundational research on how expected changes in climate and extreme weather events could affect the transportation system. Work has included research studies and preparation of working papers on key issues. Dr. Meyer has participated in numerous peer review panels on a variety of proposed investments (in, for example, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Portland, Salt Lake City Seattle). In several cases, he was asked to chair the panel. Dr. Meyer has participated in many international and national fact-finding scans to identify examples of best practice on a variety of topics. As author of each scan report, he has become very familiar with current practice on such topics as asset management, performance measures, and freight operations. He is currently a U.S. Delegate to the World Road Association, and a Convening Lead Author for the Transportation Chapter of the forthcoming National Climate Assessment Report. He is Chair of the Research and Technology Coordinating Committee that advises the Federal Highway Administration. Dr. Meyer is a well-known conference speaker on transportation issues, having spoken at over 500 conferences, annual meetings or seminars. Dr. Meyer has been the recipient of numerous awards including the 2009 W.N.

Adam Rosbury, Principal and Co-Founder of Modern Transport Solutions, LLC.
 

Adam Rosbury’s passion for engineering and construction happened at a young age. In his family of 11, the joke was always “If you want your own room, you have to build it.” Rosbury did just that. He and his family transformed their home from a small three bedroom house into a 10 bedroom home with room to spare. Realizing he was destined for a career in engineering, Mr. Rosbury gained experience first, by working as a field surveyor, and then in a variety of positions with many small companies throughout his high school and college years. Wanting to gain “hands-on” experience and to see how engineering plans go from paper to reality, Mr. Rosbury secured a job at Precision Planning Inc. There he furthered his surveying skills and gained real world experience in the engineering field. While living in Savannah, Ga, Rosbury seized the opportunity to become a Project Coordinator for FPE, Inc. where he managed sub-contractors and helped plan multi-million dollar projects. Over the last five years, Mr. Rosbury has divided his time between academia and construction, preparing technical papers and logging numerous hours of research, while continuing his work in engineering and construction. He has visited and observed at 40 different transportation agencies both domestically and internationally. Mr. Rosbury received both his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is a member of the Institute of Transportation Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Society of Highway Engineers, the American Society of Testing and Materials, as wells as the Women’s Transportation Seminar. Mr. Rosbury resides in Carnesville, GA. He is a volunteer for the Franklin Adoptive and Foster Parent Association, Habitat for Humanity, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
