TRANSPORTATION – A focus on Safety and Quality of Life Whether improving existing infrastructure, making transit connections or building active transportation projects, we understand the dual drivers for efficient movement of people and goods and the need to advance safety, connectivity, mobility and community livability. The evolution of smart cities and changes in state transportation funding present specific planning and design opportunities to incorporate alternate modes of transportation and innovative concepts such as “complete streets” and roundabouts. From planning and environmental consulting to design, construction and inspection, we deliver safe, secure and sustainable infrastructure solutions for transportation departments, toll authorities, mass-transit agencies, freight railways and airports nationwide through: ■ ■ Bridge inspection and rehabilitation that extend infrastructure lifespan and enhance public safety. ■ ■ Traffic engineering and impact studies to improve the safety and overall effectiveness of traffic movement. ■ ■ Design of pedestrian and bike paths to promote active mobility and livable communities. ■ ■ Environmental studies to identify potential impacts and mitigation activities. ■ ■ Engaging with transportation agencies on sustainability rating systems to identify and quantify social, economic and environmental benefits for communities served. NEW TRANSPORTATION DESIGN CONCEPTS INCORPORATE ELEMENTS TO IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE WHILE MAINTAINING HIGH SAFETY STANDARDS. 17
