From 2001-2004, HR&A President Eric Rothman created and directed Transport for London's (TfL) business planning process to invest $7.5 billion in annual funding in London's transportation network. TfL was created by the Greater London Act of 2000, and resulted in the consolidation of 14 different transportation agencies into an integrated transportation authority reporting to the Mayor of London. Mr. Rothman was responsible for developing an integrated 6-year strategic plan and annual operating budget for the authority. Mr. Rothman led TfL's business operational efficiency program, which has resulted in savings of more than $120 million per year by reengineering back-office business processes, establishing shared services centers for human resources and accounting, and securing efficiencies from procurement. In addition he created and executed TfL's business performance management system and investment criteria for transportation projects including London Underground, London Buses, and the Congestion Charging Zone.
