SERVICES | MOBILITY & TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
Mobility & Transportation Planning
Clients trust TGC to provide specialized expertise in mobility and transportation planning services – our core competency for over forty years. We team with our clients to define their goals, consider every scenario and growth opportunity, and mobilize for change and long-term impact. Our leading work has continually been on the cutting edge of industry standards – a key example includes the utilization of pedestrian and multimodal level of service as a factor for evaluating transportation projects as early as 2005.

TGC develops a customized performance-based planning process to identify and prioritize projects based on a variety of measurable metrics. Commonly used factors include safety (crash rates and severity), mobility (AADT and VC ratios), access (transit, activity centers), economic development (property values, employment), and environmental justice and equity (social vulnerability index). We recognize every community is different and requires the customization of factors and analysis.
-
TGC completes transportation master plans as stand-alone efforts, as a component of community/livable center studies or individual sections of larger comprehensive plans. Our approach is rooted in the identification and definition of projects based on purpose, need, benefit, and feasibility of implementation.
-
TGC excels in the development of corridor specific plans, an opportunity for our team to apply a blend of disciplines such as land use, economic development, and multimodal transportation analysis. Our approach includes a review of existing and future land uses; completion of demand/traffic projections; evaluation of alternatives; and provision of project-specific funding and implementation strategies.

With a history rooted in multimodal transportation planning, our team of experts offers the insights to help our clients realize their full project potential.
