Testimonials

“I have worked with Chi-Hsin and other professionals at CHS on various matters for the past 20 years. During that time, I have always been impressed by the quality of the analysis and the written product. CHS has always been responsive to me and my clients regarding changes to project descriptions requiring revised analysis and being able to respond effectively to issues raised by City staff and members of the public.”

“CHS worked diligently to accomplish the project’s task orders in a timely manner. They presented complicated, disconnected origin-destination data into a comprehensive graphic which made it easy for public stakeholders to understand the traffic analysis. CHS also provided creative solutions and alternatives during the planning process in a collaborative, helpful manner.”
