Curtis Sims, Jr., has over thirty years of experience in the transportation industry. He has a fervent passion for training.
S & Associates Consulting, LLC, is a highly experienced team of professionals with extensive expertise in compliance and safety.
We employ a straightforward process to get to know our clients and understand the needs of the public transportation system. We then offer services specifically tailored to ensure the demands and federal regulations of the public transportation system are met. Ensuring efficient, effective, and safe services for riders, managing staff, resolving passenger issues, monitoring performance, and adhering to rules and regulations. Our suite of products is designed to support and enhance the challenges a small public transit agency faces daily.
We offer customized training sessions on the latest safety regulations, emergency response procedures, and best practices for your staff. Training is tailored to meet the client's needs.
Courses we currently offer are:
A seven-hour training that empowers participants with practical techniques to diffuse conflict, maintain composure, and prevent escalation, ensuring every worker can act confidently and professionally under pressure. The program equips front-line staff with actionable strategies tailored to their agency’s operational guidelines, helping them navigate even the most stressful scenarios with clarity and authority.
This session will empower Transit Managers and Directors to move beyond basic compliance and thoughtfully assess whether frontline workers clearly, concisely, and fully understand existing policies and procedures. A key focus will be identifying potential gaps that could inadvertently undermine safety objectives and determining ways to refine strategies for creating a secure and calm working environment. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for ensuring policies align with their intended goals while improving overall transit operations.
DBE is frequently listed among the FTA’s Top Ten Findings. Learn steps to meet federal DBE program goals and successfully improve program reporting.
This interactive training is tailored to meet your Board’s requirements by helping you understand the Board’s role in developing mission and vision statements that define the organization’s purpose, goals, and guiding principles.

" You go above and beyond and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate it so much and always enjoy my time with you. The presentations give me so much to bring back to my agency and my subrecipients. "

" We were able to deploy online trip planning for Glasgow Transit in less than
90 days using GTFS Builder. Trip planning information displays in a riders'
native language, which supports gencies in travel training and meeting Title VI
mandates. "
" Having a tool like GTFS Builder is really light years ahead of what it used to be at one time in terms of how fast you can put everything together. Our university students really can't imagine transit without it, so I think it's very important for us in terms of attracting that particular demographic. "
" In the past we used proprietary database software that was very challenging, very murky, and hard to update. GTFS Builder is a great opportunity to make this more user-friendly, more readily updatable and it
would enable us to show how to create a GTFS to more of the staff. "
" Collaboration is a buzz word these days in the industry. On behalf of our Tribal segment, I appreciate RTAP for making Tribes a partner in industry opportunities. The organization goes over and beyond reaching partners one would not expect in a busy industry such as public transportation. Thank you for your tireless efforts! "
"We are so very thankful for all your transportation training materials. Your resources are as valuable as gold!"
