Transportation Planning & Engineering

Transportation is fundamental to our day-to-day lives: Will I make the train? Can my child ride her bike to school? Is my flight on time? Will there be enough parking at the store? At VHB, we approach transportation planning and design with a focus on creating sustainable, technologically innovative, and appropriately scaled solutions. We work as trusted advisors to our clients to balance cost and schedule while developing creative, functional plans and designs. Our knowledge and experience cover the full spectrum of potential assignments. We know the challenges facing our transportation clients and what it takes to deliver smart solutions that keep people moving.
