Some of her more recent project expertise includes streamlined design-build guidelines for the MTA, which is now being implemented system-wide. Key projects under Mari's leadership include the $1-billion, phased replacement of Metro-North's largest repair shop in Croton-Harmon, and the replacement and rehabilitation of many of the 85 New York Stations, including system expansion of new stations in Cortlandt and Yankees – East 153rd Street stations.
"With so many years of transit experience on the owner's side, I hope to share my stations and shops experience and provide an owner's perspective to the AECOM team, anticipating and delivering solutions to address our clients' needs across the region," said Mari.
Mari is also an active member of Women's Transportation Seminar (WTS), an international organization dedicated to building the future of transportation through the global advancement of women.
