KFH
Group Staff Holly Chase Transportation
Planner As a
Transportation Planner, Holly Chase supports
projects by collecting and analyzing data, creating GIS maps, conducting
research, and writing reports. Selected Experience Since
joining KFH Group, Ms. Chase has worked on six-year transit development plans
for the Lake Country Area Agency on Aging (VA), Carroll Area Transit System
(MD), and Allegany County Transit (MD). She has analyzed transportation needs
through demographic data, on-board rider surveys, and stakeholder input,
using this information to develop alternatives for demand response and
deviated fixed route service. Ms. Chase uses ArcGIS
to create maps portraying service alternatives, and has assisted in outlining
details such as service spans and headways, operating and capital costs, and
potential funding sources. Ms. Chase is also helping to evaluate pedestrian
accessibility and ADA compliance in Arlington County, VA. Ms.
Chase's graduate research focused on the transportation needs of the aging
population. Using focus group and MPO survey data, her thesis evaluated
potential elderly mobility strategies such as ridesharing, carsharing, and member-based demand response
services. Ms. Chase also interned with
the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development in Somerville,
Massachusetts while completing her degree.
Among other projects, she wrote staff report recommendations for
Planning and Zoning Board members, interfaced with city committees and
community groups, and clarified ordinance regulations for property owners and
developers. Ms. Chase
also has a background in land preservation and farmland policy. In the development department of American
Farmland Trust, she drafted correspondence describing organizational
initiatives and coordinated cultivation and solicitation mailings to the
organization's major donors. |
