KFH
Group Staff Thomas E. Holsclaw Regional
Planner Thomas
Holsclaw joined the KFH Group after a transit management and financial
management career that spans more than three decades with the Maryland
Transit Administration (MTA). Since
joining KFH Group, Mr. Holsclaw has continued to work with MTA, shifting his
focus to helping the locally operated transit systems in Central Maryland to develop
and improve, as the Regional Planner for this region. Selected Experience Mr. Holsclaw’s
extensive financial management experience includes 33 years in with the MTA,
the 10th largest transit system in the country, as well as 10 years in auditor
positions with two other Maryland agencies. Mr. Holsclaw’s MTA career began
as Senior Auditor and advanced to the position of Assistant Deputy
Administrator of Finance and Administration.
He has also served as Manager of Financial Management, Director of the
Office of Administrative Services, and Manager of Financial and Statistical
Analysis. As Assistant Deputy
Administrator, Mr. Holsclaw was tasked with overall responsibility for the
Offices of Human Resources, Organizational Development, and Materials
Management. Mr. Holsclaw’s
achievements include refinement of human resources recruitment processes,
resulting in a reduction of MTA’s vacancy rate from historic levels of 5% to
less than 3% and leading to improved service and annual overtime savings of
$2.5 million; development of the “daily bus down report” allowing
prioritization of parts orders, which resulted in a reduction of the number
of buses out of service from historical levels of 20-30 to levels of less
than 5 daily; oversight of the development and implementation of the MTA’s
driver recertification program for bus and rail operators; facilitation of
the MTA’s migration of its medical benefits program to self-funding which
resulted in one-time savings of $3.5 million plus ongoing savings of $1.0
million annually; and development of the initial phase of MTA’s State Stat
program which has lead to the increased usage of statistics as a gage of
performance. Since
joining the KFH Group, Mr. Holsclaw has served as Regional Planner for the Central
Maryland Region, responsible for grants management, compliance oversight,
technical assistance, and coordinated planning of locally operated MTA- and
FTA-funded transportation services throughout the region. |
