Transportation Related Planning

Transportation-Related Planning

We believe that transportation planning is not an isolated technical or engineering problem, but integral to placemaking, neighborhood development and the strength of our cities. Our approach to transportation systems seamlessly integrates infrastructure planning and urban design to create healthy, efficient, sustainable environments.

From system framework planning and smart growth strategies, to station and terminal design, to the design of transit oriented developments (TODs), we engage our diverse expertise across multiple disciplines to achieve integrated solutions. Our work for transportation agencies, city governments and private developers touches and integrates all modes from walking and biking, to bus and rail, to highways, waterways and airports. Our comprehensive strategies improve mobility and accessibility while enhancing the scenic, aesthetic, historic and environmental qualities of a place.

Our integrated approach to transportation related planning can mean the difference between a piece of infrastructure that acts as a barrier to development and one that becomes a catalyst for growth, one that looks like a utilitarian afterthought or like inspired architecture, one that isolates communities or becomes a place of connection and social interaction. Transportation systems that are well designed, well connected, easily accessible, multi-modal, and integrated into their environment are an essential part of sustainable and economically successful cities.
