Ascend and its experts has worked inside the Distribution and Transportation markets, including ownership, for over 25 years. Businesses at every stage of the life-cycle have been turned around, enhanced, or sold, with our unique style of achieving results. Ownership is completely involved and in fact, control the process through their objectives.
There are eight critical factors in this sector that must be front of mind as you navigate your way to your ultimate end game:

- Building and Maintaining Infrastructure
- Fixing the Highway Trust Fund and/or Re-evaluating the Federal Role
- Improving Intermodal/Multimodal Connectivity
- Maximizing the Utilization of Passenger and Freight Infrastructure
- Incentivizing Expanded Use of Private Capital in Transportation Infrastructure
