Transportation Planning

Transportation Planning is the process of identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing transportation improvements. The SEH Transportation Planning team is comprised of a diverse set of educational and professional backgrounds, including Engineers and Planners.

Community planning, landscape architecture, traffic engineering and highway design are integral elements in transportation planning. We also use GIS, water resources and Successful Public Involvement processes (SPI®), extensively.

Our transportation planning activities include:

• Travel Demand Forecasting: the development and use of regional traffic forecasts tofacilitate long term decision-making
• Transportation Master Planning: the identification of future transportation infrastructure needs for local communities, with a focus on functional roadway classifications and local circulation patterns. Includes compatibility review of subdivision and zoning ordinances
• Transportation Corridor Planning: the identification and conceptual design of future transportation infrastructure for local and regional corridors
• Environmental Documentation: the development and completion of environmental documents associated with transportation facilities
• Impact Fee Development and Implementation: the connection of future transportation needs with land use forecasts to develop a rational funding mechanism for local communities
• Multi-Modal Planning: the integration of bicycle facilities, pedestrian improvements and transit planning into local transportation systems
