The Lochner team was proud to attend this year’s APTA Mobility Conference in Salt Lake City, joining transit leaders from across the industry.

Lochner was proud to sponsor and take part in this year’s Western Winter Workshop™, joining industry and technology leaders to exchange ideas, address challenges, and help shape the future of infrastructure delivery.

Our team contributed to discussions on advancing program delivery, enterprise risk management, and resilient transit operations supporting major events and complex transportation programs. A highlight of the event was Sean VonFeldt kicking off Innovation Day in his fourth year as Chairman of the Workshop, continuing to guide conversations on evolving program and project controls practices for public sector owners.

As a Capital Management Session Sponsor, Lochner supported The Venue—Transit Connection: Delivering Seamless Mobility for Major Events panel, where Ken Hawkins introduced the panel of strategies for integrated mobility planning and coordinated program delivery.

Lochner also shared insights during the Enterprise Risk Management for Transit Agencies session, where Gary Thomas and Chad Edwards joined Denver International Airport Chief Construction and Infrastructure Officer Jim Starling as panelists, with Christabel San Nicolas serving as moderator.

As we continue our integration with Egis, engagement in forums like the Western Winter Workshop reflects the leadership, expertise, and collaboration that drive successful delivery of complex infrastructure programs.
