Traffic and Transportation
Fuss & O’Neill’s transportation planning and engineering team excels in resolving complex infrastructure and permitting challenges. We are experts who believe that successful projects must be designed with sensitivity to the community, diligence to technical and functional criteria, and awareness of cost.
Flexibility and innovation during the planning and design process are key elements in adapting to changing travel patterns, new vehicle and fuel technologies, land use patterns, population densities, and individual travel choices. Many sustainability practices have already been internalized to address congestion, fuel efficiency, safety, air pollution, environmental sensitivity, and non-vehicular facilities. We will continue to pursue opportunities to promote projects with sustainability as a central feature or primary objective such as transit oriented development, travel demand management, alternative fuels and vehicle technology, cross-modal facilities, para-transit, and ecological mitigationincorporation of intelligent transportation technologies.
Our many years of experience and successful completion of transportation improvement projects provides us with the knowledge required to streamline the design and permit approval cycle. Our experienced and focused approach to context sensitive design and public involvement assures timely permit approvals, and avoids contentious reviews, escalating construction costs, schedule delays and poor public relations.
Fuss & O’Neill’s Transportation Engineering Group also works internally with our experts in land development, surveying, and environmental assessment, to produce creative solutions and provide the complete answers our clients need.

Municipal Partnering
Fuss & O’Neill has partnered with several municipalities in a unique fashion to extend the effectiveness of limited funds for infrastructure improvements. Many municipalities have engineering and public works staff capable of surveying, designing and constructing roadway facilities. Performing these services with municipal staff can significantly reduce the overall cost of an infrastructure improvement project. We work with the municipality to identify staff strengths and capabilities and develop a project approach to combine these talents with our bridge and transportation expertise.
