As Project Manager for the Des Moines Area MPO (DMAMPO) Economic Impact Study, Chandler Duncan directed a comprehensive analysis quantifying the fiscal and economic contributions of the region’s transit system and operating agency, DART. He led delivery of a robust analysis of return on investment (ROI) and job creation scenarios, anchored by the development of a dynamic, publicly accessible ArcGIS Online Dashboard.

As Deputy Project Manager, Vincent Matheney ensured the project delivered a robust analysis of fiscal and economic contributions, and his technical expertise was pivotal in creating the dynamic, publicly accessible ArcGIS Online Dashboard. The tool allowed MPO staff and stakeholders to interactively explore and visualize job creation, household income impacts, and return on investment scenarios across the Des Moines region. He was also directly responsible for developing impactful GIS visualizations and mapping products for the final report, communicating complex spatial relationships between transit access and economic development clusters to policymakers. The study served as a clear, data-driven foundation for future infrastructure investment decisions.
