Sample General CommentsDecember 2006 Evaluations
Thank you for the experienced assistance; it helped greatly.
Mark knew and understood what information we needed – was familiar with our project, provided information, and coached us for our presentation.
Mark is an “encyclopedia” of traffic engineering, detailed issues.
Patrick did a fine job. I find LTAP training/programs to be of great assistance.
