Summary
Rick Curry is a transportation behavior and modeling leader with 11+ years in senior analytic and management roles, now serving as Senior Vice President of WSP USA's Systems Analysis Group in San Diego. He builds and directs multidisciplinary teams to develop activity-based, airport/land-port, and freight forecasting models that translate complex policy, infrastructure, and MaaS innovations into actionable forecasts. Rick combines deep academic grounding (M.S. Civil Engineering, UC Davis) with decades of practical public-sector and consultancy experience at SANDAG and Caltrans, enabling him to bridge research-quality methods and production-ready software and business intelligence tools. He is known for pairing rigorous travel-survey and behavioral modeling expertise with pragmatic custom-tool development to make sophisticated forecasts usable for planners and decision makers. An often-overlooked strength: he has substantial hands-on experience in both international port-of-entry forecasting and tolling/managed-lane simulation dating back to his early research work, giving him rare breadth across passenger and freight systems.
