Transportation Engineering & ITS TOA’s transportation engineering and ITS services blend technical and communication skills to develop solutions to modern mobility problems. In an environment of limited funds and increased attention to multimodal solutions, transportation engineers are challenged to squeeze as much usefulness from existing rights-of-way and public investments as possible. We work with community leaders to cultivate an understanding that roadways are not simply a means of providing for vehicular circulation, but an asset that must address multiple modes and enhance the character of the surrounding community. Our goal is to develop practical and implementable recommendations that improve circulation, increase safety, reduce air pollution, and conserve fuel and are responsive to local and regional land use/livability goals within adopted design criteria. Our engineers and technicians have wideranging experience with: • • • • •

Planning circulation systems Multimodal corridor studies “Complete Streets” and context-sensitive planning and design Intelligent Transportation Systems Vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic operations and safety analysis/studies • Access management policy development and permitting • Traffic signal design and traffic signal timing • Street lighting design For more information, please contact: W.T.
