Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Craig is a transportation planner and data-focused systems lead with a decade of experience aligning transit operations, finance, and technology for public agencies. Currently at Washington State DOT, he blends GTFS expertise, data product design, and policy work—helping shape the Washington State Public Transportation Plan and HEAL Act implementation—while advising on mobility data interoperability. He previously led system development for the CALACT ITS4US project and ran a transit-focused consulting firm where he combined financial modeling, process optimization, and team coordination. Known for translating complex transit standards into practical procurement and workflow solutions, he brings a rare mix of hands-on GTFS/GTFS-rt/GTFS-flex technical fluency and strategic financial planning. Based in Portland, he pairs a humanities background with post-baccalaureate studies in math, economics, and computer science, which informs his quantitative yet user-centered approach.
