"Quantm is rapidly emerging as the standard for transportation planning in
the United States because we are able to fully integrate engineering,
environmental, cost estimating and public involvement into corridor and
alignment alternatives analysis," said Alan Griffiths, Quantm's CEO.

The Quantm system is already being applied in 14 US States -- California,
North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas , Alabama, Washington, Idaho, Louisiana,
Nevada, Indiana, Delaware, Michigan, Colorado, and Alaska .

The Quantm system for route alignment selection addresses the shortcomings
of the conventional approach to transportation route planning by allowing
transportation planners to integrate environmental , community, cultural,
engineering and cost factors into a single analysis. The system has
been successfully applied on road and rail projects worldwide,
including California, Texas, Alaska, North Carolina, Indiana, Arkansas,
Alabama, Nevada, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, Delaware, Michigan and
Idaho along with Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, Indonesia and China.

Quantm's route optimization technology effectively integrates the
information that comes from the various agencies involved in the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, resulting in reduced environmental
impacts, improved relations with stakeholders and the local community, and
a substantially curtailed planning cycle."

PRESS RELEASE Quantm Honored by Transportation Research Board as Key Pro-Environment Technology

"Compared to conventional planning applications, such as GIS or
CAD-based approaches, Quantm enables project teams to demonstrate
transparent and unbiased consideration of all reasonable alternatives, as
required by NEPA and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act.

Energy consumption is shockingly unequal across the globe. Zurich has adopted this platform by partnering with
industry via innovative energy and building initiatives to increase
quality of life.

Using the system, teams have been able to rapidly identify alternative
alignments that improve environmental outcomes, support the consultation
process, maintain the momentum of the planning project and deliver
significant construction cost savings. Please visit us at www. The event
is open to the media and the public.

By integrating the
large amounts of data required by agencies involved in the environmental
protection process in the United States, Quantm helps achieve the objective
of reducing project impacts on the environment, including demonstrating
that "all reasonable alternatives" have been considered as required by NEPA
and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act. The program is
co-sponsored by Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH),
Swiss Re, The City of Zurich and novatlantis.
