Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning

CLIENTS' NEEDS
Our clients’ needs range from building new communities and associated transportation infrastructure, to optimizing traffic operations within a transportation corridor, to solving the traffic problems associated with a new development or simply designing a new circulation element of a General Plan. They need to have the confidence that the solutions will work from a traffic operations as well as urban design perspective and the solutions need to be cost effective.

CLIENTS' ISSUES
There are really two over-riding issues that shape nearly every traffic engineering / transportation planning solution in today’s cities.

How to design and implement workable, creative, cost effective, multi-modal solutions that address today’s and tomorrow’s needs while addressing conflicting social, political, urban design, economic, traffic, environmental and other issues.
How to best communicate the alternatives, issues, and solutions to the elected officials, the public and the technical professional.
