Kozuki has also supported various
transit agencies in addressing asset
management needs through state-ofgood
repair analyses. He has helped
agencies assemble the asset inventory
and applied a decision-support tool
to identify the current backlog, the
future capital investment needs, and
determine what happens to the backlog
and asset condition when there isn’t
enough funding to address the needs.
These state-of-good repair analyses
have been used to address capital investment
planning in New Starts Financial
Plans, to enable agencies to
successfully articulate the need for
additional capital funding, and to help
agencies meet the Federal Transit Administration’s
TAM requirements.
Fact:
Kozuki is active
in his college

“I really like helping people solve their a nalytical problems,
that is one of the signature things that I do for them: creating
a nalytical tools from scratch that solves their problems.
I also like working with the different agencies, because
they may start off with the same problem or the same
approach, but there is always a different solution …”
