Services / Transportation Engineering & ITS


TOA offers an excellent blend of local, state, and national experience in traffic engineering and design plans, corridor and traffic flow studies, traffic system operation and safety, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and improvement design, with demonstrated ability to prepare recommendations that are ultimately implemented. Many of TOA’s principals are former local government employees who have been “on the firing line” of managing public infrastructure in a political environment. We are accustomed to being a steward of the public infrastructure and dealing with the public.

Transportation climates are constantly evolving. In the past, our network infrastructure was seen as a conduit for the transportation of goods and services, moving vehicles as quickly as possible. Now, emphasis is placed on the safety and mobility of all users—vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. TOA is committed to applying the right mix of staff, technology, and philosophy to providing unmatched solutions and products.

TOA's team expertise in traffic engineering is rooted in its staff and in the skills and tools the firm maintains. TOA’s expertise includes:

  • Traffic operations and engineering
  • Traffic design plans
  • Traffic signal retiming
  • PD&E and corridor studies
  • Multimodal corridor studies (pedestrian/bike/transit)
  • Access management analysis and permitting
  • Traffic data collection and review
  • Intelligent transportation systems
  • Safety program management and analysis
  • Safety and traffic flow studies
  • Roadway capacity analyses
  • Review of existing facilities and design plans for accommodation of alternative modes throughout Florida
  • “Complete streets” as part of context-sensitive designs
  • Innovation—the ability to think “outside the intersection”
