Mobycon USA – Now open for business in Durham, North Carolina
Mobycon is pleased to announce our expansion to the US with a new office in Durham, North Carolina! Thanks to the support of our clients and partners in recent years, we have seen a growing demand for our unique consulting services that blend American and Dutch mobility expertise. “The world of integrated mobility is changing quickly,” says Johan Diepens, founder and CEO of Mobycon, “We are eager to help US cities to realize the integrated mobility solutions of the future. This new office will make it even easier for clients across the US to connect with our international experts.”
Elizabeth Allingham, North American Director for Mobycon, expressed enthusiasm for the company’s important milestone. “We are excited to put down new roots and connect with communities who want to take their plans, policies or designs to the next level. With this new office, we are building strong momentum to develop customized solutions that result in better safety for all.”
Mobycon’s decision to open a US office comes after five years of supporting projects and masterclasses across the nation. When America’s first protected intersection was being designed in Davis, California, Mobycon provided support to bring Dutch-inspired design solutions to create safer conditions. More recently, Mobycon provided strategic policy advice for the new Federal Highway Administration Guide for Separating Bicycles from Traffic that will give cities up-to-date information on how to increase safety of US bicycle infrastructure.
Integrated Mobility Planner Mary Elbech of Mobycon USA brings a strong track record of working with communities across the US. “It brings us great satisfaction to work internationally and connect people across multiple time zones to bring about positive change with solutions that help our clients succeed. Now we can better support our US clients and projects, focusing on US-specific needs, challenges and trends.” she noted.
