Advancing mobility

Today’s transportation options are abundant. The available choices, both public and private, can be overwhelming. Combining the many different modes to create a seamless travel experience poses a challenge, especially with payment integration, legal framework, data collection, and information sharing between providers.

With experience in the latest trends and expertise in all types of transportation offerings, we blend complex strategies with practical, community-focused solutions. Our approaches embrace the latest data to ensure cities and regions can accommodate, manage, and benefit from the changing mobility landscape while delivering equitable transportation options.

Congestion is a perennial issue for cities around the world, and one that is rapidly worsening with an associated climate and economic cost. Metropolitan areas need innovative options to enhance urban life.

We combine industry-transforming concepts with data-driven analysis and implement them with sensitivity to manage congestion in critical areas. The results are dynamic redesign concepts and behavioral modifications that consider all modes and users. Integrated traveler information, dynamic parking, congestion pricing, curbside management, and an array of transportation demand management strategies are a few of our latest implementations.

Emerging technologies like electric mobility, connected and autonomous vehicles, and mobility-on-demand will one day be an everyday reality. The horizon is exciting and offers the potential to significantly improve safety, efficiency, and quality of life.

We are preparing today for this future certainty while continuing to work across all modes. Safety is always our highest priority. We embrace both new technologies and traditional infrastructure to enable all communities to benefit from the latest developments. When adapting autonomous and connected transportation for a range of uses, from personal vehicles to mass transit to freight delivery, safety and efficiency are at the forefront of our planning and design.

In today’s competitive market, both agencies and the public understand the value of an efficient, enjoyable customer experience. Building ridership and creating positive associations are essential to the long-term viability of a transit or mobility system—attention to detail along all points of a customer’s journey matters. Providing the same opportunity for all users to traverse a system in a reliable and sustainable manner is also vital.

In an age of urban growth with continually expanding modes of mobility, we are committed to delivering a high-quality transportation experience to ensure mass transit remains a competitive option for travel. The customer experience is a focal point for our team. We recognize the public-facing role of mobility infrastructure is evolving, and we are committed to servicing the customers who use them.

Technology is continually evolving and at a faster pace than ever before. While our clients recognize the benefit of using the latest advances to generate improvements to traditional transportation modes, they rarely have the comprehensive figures, statistics, and analyses available to incorporate them efficiently.

​​​On project after project, our experts are using advanced technology to enhance service, maximize efficiency, and improve the customer experience. We are continually leveraging big data sets to analyze transportation system operations and effectiveness—and the user’s everyday experience—in ways that were not previously possible. Our clients reap the benefit of the work we do every day.

There is no question that our climate is changing, and transit has been a key contributor to CO2 emissions. Our clients across the globe are challenged to improve and safeguard the environment.

Every day, we assist with the planning and implementation of fleet transition strategies to pair with alternative fuel options to reduce emissions. Fleet modernization, Zero Emissions/Net Zero, charging stations/electrification, and alternative fuel options are just a few of the most-recent solutions we look to when helping our clients.

Clients recognize that to ensure long-term success in a swift changing world they must plan for resilience and ensure their capacity to respond and adapt to challenges, both expected and unexpected.

We support our clients’ efforts by offering expertise in a wide range of resilience frameworks and targeted studies to deliver expert advice on how they can operate better under today’s conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s shocks and stresses.

Clients are adopting a new strategy for safety. The principle of Vision Zero is to eliminate all fatalities and serious injuries from traffic crashes. Our clients seek partners who strive to champion safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all.

Our safety specialists have an impressive record of reducing crashes and creating safe travel for everyone. We implement technology that focuses on real-time monitoring and management of our transportation network. We design urban improvements, pedestrian amenities, and Complete Streets that support the Vision Zero ideals.
