Collaboration combines MetroTranspo’s transportation planning and operational expertise with Relentless’ communications, public affairs, and community engagement capabilities
WASHINGTON, D.C., and NEW YORK (August 18, 2026) – Metro Transportation Management & Design, Inc. (“MetroTranspo”), a Washington, D.C.-based transportation planning and operations management services firm, and Relentless Awareness LLC (“Relentless”), a communications and creative strategy firm, today announced a strategic alliance designed to expand the capabilities, geographic reach, and specialized expertise available to their clients.
Through the alliance, MetroTranspo and Relentless will jointly pursue and support selected projects requiring both transportation expertise and effective public communication. Potential assignments include transit and mobility planning, transportation operations, stakeholder outreach, community engagement, public affairs, and communications for complex transportation initiatives.
The alliance builds upon a year of discussions and joint proposal development between the two firms. By coordinating their complementary capabilities, MetroTranspo and Relentless can provide clients with a more integrated approach to projects in which operational planning, public understanding, and community participation are closely connected.
“Transportation projects succeed when sound planning and disciplined execution are supported by clear communication and meaningful engagement,” said John Antokas, president of MetroTranspo. “This alliance allows us to bring those capabilities together while keeping MetroTranspo focused on what we do best: developing practical transportation solutions and carrying them through in the field. Relentless gives our clients access to an experienced communications team that understands how to connect complex projects with the people and communities they serve.”
Founded and led by Antokas since 2020, MetroTranspo provides transportation planning, management, field operations, and integrated mobility solutions for government agencies, public institutions, prime contractors, venues, campuses, and complex private-sector environments. The firm supports public- and private-sector projects throughout the continental United States.
Relentless, co-founded by partners Rich Fazio and Joe Bonilla in 2012, provides communications strategy and execution, creative and production services, regulatory and public affairs support, social media, community engagement, and crisis communications to public- and private-sector clients.
“This strategic alliance taps into John’s deep expertise as a transportation planner and strengthens it with the communications, community engagement, and creative capabilities of the Relentless team,” said Joe Bonilla, managing partner and co-founder of Relentless. “Our firms bring distinct but highly complementary skills. For organizations managing public transportation initiatives, private transportation logistics, or other complex mobility projects, our collaboration offers a coordinated team capable of addressing both operational and communications needs.”
MetroTranspo and Relentless will remain independently owned and operated while collaborating on mutually selected proposals, projects, and business opportunities. For more information about MetroTranspo, visit metrotranspo.com. For more information about Relentless, visit relentlessaware.com.
