local, state, regional, and federal government policies and projects. His background includes transit (urban,

and monitoring, land use impact analysis, program/project management, and
presentations. Selected Experience Transit and Paratransit Planning and
Analysis: Mr.
Barboza has analyzed transit planning projects, urban and rural, throughout
the United States. The scope of
projects consist of: statewide intercity bus services, rural / small-urban
systems analysis, regional coordination analysis, and urban systems. Recently, Mr. Barboza worked on studies
evaluating statewide intercity bus services, rural transit services, and
paratransit services. Mr. Barboza has
also developed documentation to fulfill federal program planning
requirements: project area definition, transportation and land-use analysis,
demographic analysis, potential alignments and accompanying costs, proposed
route travel times and associated project environmental impacts. Mr. Barboza was part of a team that
consulted regional entities achieve application requirements to the Federal
Transit Administration under the New Starts Program (Section 5309). Coordination Studies: Mr.
Barboza has participated in a number of coordination studies, involving
multiple jurisdictions. He served as
assistant project manager for the development of a Public Transportation
Coordination Plan in the Laredo area of southwest Texas, consisting of four
rural counties, and services in the City of Laredo. In the Brownsville-McAllen area of south
central Texas, Mr. Barboza assisted in the development of a Public Transportation
Coordination Plan that included more effective coordination efforts among the
existing public transit providers; the integration of scheduling information
to allow for convenient trip planning by the public; and promote partnerships
between the transit operators and local businesses to allow for access to
other sources of revenue. State Transit Administration and Policy
Implementation: As an acting Regional Planner in the Maryland Transit
Administration (MTA), Mr. Barboza provided program guidance to rural and
small urban transit systems in six counties, addressing all federal and state
requirements for statewide public transportation grant programs administered
by the MTA: Sections 5307, 5310, and 5311; JARC; and state-funded operating
and capital programs. In this role he
was responsible for review and validation of transit system operations and
budget data in order to justify and approve grant reimbursements. He provided oversight for several capital
investment requests. He also completed
the update of the MTA’s FY 2007 and 2008 Annual Transportation Application
for state and federal grants for public transportation projects in small
urbanized and rural areas. Data Collection and Analysis: Mr. Barboza has provided data
collection, survey analysis, literature reviews, and other research
assistance for numerous projects and reports.
Data collection efforts supported transit system performance analysis
efforts and development of proposed alternatives. Areas of industry research include:
employee compensation; recruiting, hiring, and retention practices;
alternative funding sources (local match); and current practices in safety
and security for use in transit. He
developed a database for signage of the entire western section of the Menlo
Park, California. Mr. Barboza has used
Traffix software to validate traffic forecasts of a road improvement project
and generated the network of the locally (non-project) impacted road network. Land Use Planning: Mr. Barboza administered the
Williamson Act Program, a statewide agricultural land preservation program,
in Fresno County, California and processed a diversity of land use
applications. He developed
documentation to streamline the processing of applications, educate the
public, and manage the development of a clear mission for the administration
of the program in relation to the overall goals of the County. He identified the applicable Fresno County
General Plan and Specific Plan policies and objectives and conducted CEQA
analysis to determine impacts of land use proposals. He managed each project and retrieved input
from local, regional, and state agencies when required and presented land use
proposals to the County Board and County Commission. Mr. Barboza also assisted in two research
projects: 1) increased accessibility
and promote tourism to the city and surrounding natural environment by
improving rail line service and local transit (Egg Harbor City, New Jersey),
and 2) developed a comprehensive land use strategy to promote high-density
