Lorden Associates

Lorden Associates specializes in the management of passenger ground-transportation programs. Whether you are a high-volume user of for-hire vehicle services, the operator of a multi-modal transportation hub, or a governmental regulatory agency, our services are designed to enhance the delivery of vendor services and reduce costs through strong management and operational practices.

We provide a single-source solution to organizations seeking customized ground-transportation management services, including strategic planning, operations management, compliance programming, and an array of value-added administrative and business support services.

A key role of the public workforce system is to help businesses find the qualified workers they need. Lorden Associates works with businesses to find diverse candidates - such as veterans, individuals with disabilities, older workers, justice involved individuals, youth, and other untapped sources of workers - trained and supported by non-profit workforce providers and offering industry recognized certifications.

Collaborating with our strategic partners, we administer Federal, State and local tax credits that are available to employers who invest in job seekers who have consistently faced barriers to employment.

At its core, physical security is about keeping your facilities, people and assets safe from real-world threats. It includes physical deterrence, detection of intruders, and responding to those threats. While the scale and sophistication of your controls and monitoring will vary depending on location and need, there are best practices that can be applied across the board to ensure a robust physical security posture.

Lorden Associates performs thorough and comprehensive risk assessments and helps implement recommended enhancements to your overall security program.
