IMEG Transportation Market Leader Corey Stout talks about the challenges facing the transportation sector and other related topics in the following Q&A.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What drives your motivation for working in the transportation sector?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Most people find that the roadway is just a<\/span>\u00a0way of<\/span>\u00a0getting from point A to point B, but they’re satisfied with that until it becomes an inconvenience, whether it’s a safety issue,\u00a0<\/span>congestion<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0or improperly timed<\/span>\u00a0traffic signals<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>here’s a lot of pride that comes with being able to fix those problems and see the motoring public compliment<\/span> on <\/span>the fact that that these improvements have been made. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What common challenge is confronting today\u2019s transportation agencies?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: <\/strong>Infrastructure is dilapidated in many jurisdictions, municipalities, counties, and states; we’re in dire need of improvements. The federal government has provided funding for this work and they’re elevating it to get it done at a very fast pace. Agencies are dependent on quality consultants who know how to take the lead on these projects, move them forward, manage them properly, and get them out to construction in a timely manner. That’s where IMEG comes in. We’ve been at the forefront of being that shelf-ready company that not only can do the project but can take the lead and take the load off the agency itself.<\/p>\n

Q: What added value does IMEG bring to its transportation clients?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> <\/span>We bring<\/span>\u00a0t<\/span>he knowledge of the local jurisdictions and agencies involved on the design side and\u00a0<\/span>are able to<\/span>\u00a0implement the construction inspection for those agencies on the construction si<\/span>d<\/span>e<\/span>. T<\/span>hat brings value engineering to the forefront for those clients<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hey rea<\/span>p<\/span>\u00a0the benefits of a much better design<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0project because we’re looking at both the design and the constructability at the same time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What is the key to a solid consultant-client relationship?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A: <\/strong>It’s\u00a0<\/span>really about<\/span>\u00a0establishing a relationship that goes both ways<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he agency needs to\u00a0<\/span>trust<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>consultant<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>the consultant needs to\u00a0<\/span>trust<\/span>\u00a0the agency<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he more you can demonstrate those successes<\/span>\u00a0and long-term relationships built\u00a0<\/span>with other agencies<\/span>, the more<\/span>\u00a0we can take this to the next level and be a partner with\u00a0<\/span>an\u00a0<\/span>agency<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
