Keolis names Hinchcliffe to LRT post

Hinchcliffe will be responsible for developing and managing light rail
 transit systems in the region, among them the GrandLinq in Ontario, as well
 as business development opportunities across North America. A native of Yorkshire, England, Hinchcliffe brings more than 24 years of
 experience in engineering design, manufacture, project management, and 
business development for projects around the world. Before joining 
Keolis, he spent 18 years with Construcciones y Auxiliar de
Ferrocarriles (CAF) managing projects in Europe, Hong Kong, and the U.S.

“Robert has spent a significant portion of his career facilitating and developing 
transportation services on multiple continents and successfully building
 strong multifunctional international teams,” said Keolis Executive 
Vice President and General Manager North American Operations Eric Asselin. “His experience and commitment to serving customer needs is a great 
complement to the mission and goals of Keolis. He will be an integral part of our North American senior leadership team as 
we look to expand our light rail ventures in the region.”

“With an ever-increasing need for swift, safe, and reliable transportation, North America provides a rich environment for light rail development,” Hinchcliffe said. I’m 
eager for the opportunity to develop and improve new and existing systems,
 creating more enjoyable commutes for our customers in the U.S. and Canada.”
