KFH
Group Staff Steven Gehrke Transportation
Analyst Steven Gehrke specializes in a variety
of technical aspects pertaining to public transportation planning, including
GIS development, database management, spatial analysis, and overall
cartographic design. He has built upon
knowledge obtained while working on public transportation and urban planning
projects in Las Cruces, New Mexico and Portland, Oregon, during his past
academic pursuits. Since
joining KFH Group in 2007, Mr. Gehrke has provided technical support towards
an intercity bus project with CalTrans concerning improvements in
availability and connectivity of bus systems for the State of
California. His efforts on this
project included data collection, database construction, analysis of existing
and conceptual routes, and mapping of the intercity bus services. He has also worked on Transit Development
Plans for two Maryland counties (Howard and Queen Anne’s), in which he
performed analysis on constructed maps relating existing bus services to
concentrations of transit dependent populations, in an effort to better serve
those with dependence. In addition, he
recently developed a series of maps for the Deerfield Valley Transit
Association in Southern Vermont for use in advertisements, brochures, and
their website. Over the
course of his post-bachelor studies, Mr. Gehrke undertook a number of
significant projects analyzing transit planning in the Portland Metropolitan
Area. One such study was an analysis
of accessibility in the Abernethy neighborhood, in which he collected
extensive primary data in an effort to determine deficiencies in
infrastructure supportive to people with physically disabilities in recent
commercial developments. The result of
his findings detailed areas of concern, which he applied towards a proposal
for current and future improvements of the walkways and crosswalks in the
neighborhood. Mr. Gehrke
has a strong background in the multitude of aspects surrounding Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) development, including data collection, database
management, spatial analysis, and cartographic design, as well as proficiency
in electronic design applications. |
