Transportation Engineering Services

  • Transportation Planning

    Our team employs a sophisticated approach to transport planning by ensuring that clear fundamentals are established early in the conceptualization of any transport strategy. We are passionate about integrated outcomes, transit priority and travel demand management. Our team also has significant expertise in road hierarchy, infrastructure planning, charging mechanisms and strategic transport modelling.

  • Traffic Engineering

    Our staff work with state agencies, regional planning agencies, municipalities, and the private sector to address the needs of both motorized and non-motorized users, access management, bicycle-pedestrian studies, traffic calming, transit studies, traffic impact and parking analyses, highway interchange analysis, congestion mitigation, and safety studies.

  • Highway Design

    Our in-house technical staff can handle all aspects of transportation improvement systems, including planning, permitting, conceptual design, environmental assessment, pavement and drainage evaluation, safety concerns, value engineering, cost estimating, final design, and construction management services.

  • Complete Streets

    Complete Streets create a built environment that supports safety and comfort for all users, of all ages and abilities, including pedestrians, bicycles, transit riders, and motorists. These projects often include wayfinding, ADA accessibility compliance, on-road bicycle facilities, crossing designs, transit connections, shared use paths, and first-mile, last-mile solutions.

  • Active Transportation

    SLR helps clients plan and design the facilities and the policies that make walking, bicycling, transit, or wheelchair use more safe, intuitive, and comfortable. Our team brings project management expertise in multimodal planning, transportation demand management strategies, and shared bike/scooter policies and training.

  • Structural Inspection & Design

    SLR’s team of combined structural engineers, and career inspectors perform above and underwater inspections and evaluations, for the permitting, design and construction inspection for bridges, railways, and culverts. Our experience ranges from large, multibridge interstate projects to state-operated local bridge rehabilitation and replacement.
