Providing transportation facilities that are accessible for those with disabilities is a critical aspect of your community’s infrastructure improvements. Since its founding in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has guided our transportation engineers in planning and designing streetscapes that accommodate all users.

As part of our design process, our team uses the 2010 ADA Standard for Accessible Design, the 2006 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Transportation Facilities, the 2023 Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines and applicable state and local accessibility codes to further sharpen our focus on accessibility. We have also designed multiple projects using the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Complete Streets concept to balance the needs of drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation users of all ages. We can upgrade and improve your roadways to include ADA-compliant sidewalks, bicycle lanes, transit facilities and stops, pedestrian crossings, median refuge, accessible pedestrian signals, curb extensions and landscaping.

Whatever your challenge may be, we can help. Our streetscape and ADA services include:

  • transportation planning
  • traffic engineering
  • site development
  • roadway design
  • bicycle facility design
  • accessible design
  • traffic signal design
