DORIS LEE ALWAYS HAD A STRONG
interest in mobility and how people
move through different spaces-having
grown up in Los Angeles, lived in New
York City and now in San Francisco. In
her seven-year career at WSP USA, she
has helped more than two dozen public
transportation agencies across the country provide safe and reliable transportation systems.
Her work with these transit agencies
and other transportation stakeholders
(including state DOTs, airports and the
Federal Highway Administration) has
centered around solving critical problems spanning multiple areas. She has
helped prepare practical long range and
strategic plans that have enabled agencies to have clear and defensible priorities, improve business processes to
significantly improve efficiencies, plan
for new asset management systems and
select asset management systems.
Recently, Lee helped several transit
agencies with preparing a clear roadmap
for their asset management improvements, charting their improvement
journey for years to come and doing it

in a way that can be understood by a
wide group of stakeholders. These plans
had to be completed within a tight timeframe to ensure compliance with Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Final Rule for Transit Asset Management
(TAM). Her easy-to-approach demeanor and capacity to distill complex topics
into simple messages ensured that her
recommendations are widely accepted
within the agencies and put into practice. The plans innovatively included
infographics and summary sheets to
ensure higher visibility and were supported by detailed lifecycle models that
provided underlying analysis.
Lee has also co-authored a multitude
of guidance documents for state DOTs
that have advanced the state of practice.
These include guides to leverage technology to improve the project delivery
and right of way management processes.
