Transportation Planning and Scheduling for the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games

The 2014 Special Olympics USA Games were hosted in New Jersey. More than 4,000 athletes competed in 16 sports hosted across 10 locations within a 30-mile radius. We designed timely, convenient, easy-to-follow, and reliable bus routes and schedules to assist thousands of people with intellectual disabilities and their coaches to attend games and special events over seven days under a budget of $600,000.
