SANDAG Service Bureau completes small business, education, transit projects
The SANDAG Service Bureau has thrived since its launch in mid-2005, providing innovative and customized research services, analytical studies, and technical assistance to public agencies, businesses, and other organizations.
“Our primary goal is to provide unsurpassed customer service,” explains Karen Lamphere, SANDAG Principal Planner. “When you work with the Service Bureau, you'll find that our team of skilled researchers, statisticians, technologists, and established industry veterans has the experience and resources to get the job done right.”
At the request of the Metropolitan Transit System, the Service Bureau recently completed an enlightening survey on the new Green Line Trolley, which opened to the public in July 2005. The data verified the Green Line’s success and provided robust ridership data.
Other work conducted to date includes a comprehensive environmental scan for MiraCosta Community College; collaboration with the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce to provide demographic information to clients of the Chamber’s recently-launched Small Business Success Center; extensive Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping and analysis for City of San Diego community plan updates; and assisting local agencies with updates of the housing elements of their general plans.
The Service Bureau’s core areas of expertise include GIS analysis and mapping, demographic and economic studies, transportation modeling and analysis, criminal justice studies, fiscal and economic impact analysis, and survey design and analysis.
