WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 13, 2019) – Quality Counts (QC) Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Brissett announced the firm’s new strategic direction for growth with the launch of the new MyQC™ client portal at the 98th Annual Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting. The full-service data collection and consulting firm aims to place a stronger focus on data-driven by new technologies to enhance communities across the country.
For the past 15 years, QC has placed an emphasis on their quality of work, the character of their staff and their overall customer attentiveness. These core values and a focus on transportation data solutions help improve every community they serve, leading to the adoption of their new positioning statement, Data that Drives Communities.
“Our team is dedicated to contributing positively to our local communities in addition to the transportation community at large. We provide a comprehensive level of knowledge and experience and we believe that this, in conjunction with stakeholder collaboration and best-fit technology solutions, will help identify issues and challenges experienced across the country.” Brissett said.
Providing accurate information to public officials and engineers positively affects the operation of roadway networks. Moreover, data collection and analysis help improve public safety. Quality Counts provides a variety of methods for collecting and reporting data. In addition, the company has helped develop and execute various surveys and studies to meet the needs of their clients in both the public and private sectors.
QC Vice President Gerald Wegehaupt said, “The impact of our work ultimately changes communities in a very significant way. By providing accurate information, our efforts allow engineers and other entities to develop strategic and systematic plans which enable communities to become more livable, more viable economically, and more aesthetically pleasing.”
Over the past several years, QC has experienced significant growth in several areas. The company is currently 49 percent employee-owned; this and continued growth has led to shifts in leadership. These shifts in leadership include several longtime QC employees taking on executive-level leadership positions highlighting the importance of internal growth at QC. Along with this transition of leadership, QC has increased both the scope and scale of their projects. Expanding from traditional data collection, QC has gained expertise in database management, consulting and software development.
The longstanding partnership between QC and Kittelson & Associates is a testament to the company’s commitment to maintaining strong relationships. QC appreciates the value partners bring and has dedicated itself to foster relationships with impactful innovators in the transportation industry. These connections have empowered QC to complete groundbreaking and innovative projects across the nation.
According to Brissett, QC has further shown its commitment to their global communities by forging partnerships overseas and creating jobs for people in Uganda, India, and Mexico, where there are limited opportunities for jobs and professional development. QC consistently strives to create strategic international partnerships that align with their company values and offer firsthand quality training and jobs to support communities on a global level.
Over the years, QC has expanded across multiple regions of the United States. Several top-performing markets include Oregon, North Carolina, Florida, and Washington, DC. QC also operates in Baton Rouge, Austin, the Chicago metro area, the Nashville metro area and the San Francisco Bay metro area.
“We are excited about the opportunity to continue to grow in the new year. Our company’s rebranding emphasizes our persisting efforts to make communities across the nation a safer more efficient place to live and travel,” said Brissett.
