Light rail offers exciting opportunities for cities to improve mobility, enhance places and support positive environmental, sustainability and societal outcomes — helping people get where they need to go faster, while providing value to communities by offering new hubs and destinations and, ultimately, creating opportunities for everyone.
When it comes to iconic, innovative transit projects around the world, AECOM leads like no other. Our transit professionals are involved in every aspect of LRT delivery, from program management to planning and conceptual engineering, through final design, construction management and startup of revenue service.
Our expertise includes track, systems, passenger concourses and stations, maintenance and storage facilities, bridges and structures, buildings, rolling stock, utility crossings, and operations and maintenance planning.
We’ve delivered hundreds of LRT projects under traditional design-bid-build models and, more recently, have undertaken several using alternative delivery vehicles such as P3s and design-build.
