We partner with municipalities, transit agencies, and regional authorities to plan, design, and deliver BRT systems that integrate thoughtfully into the urban environment    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connecting people, creating opportunities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is the fastest growing mode of public transportation. BRT offers a distinct combination of reliability and flexibility that makes it an effective solution to meet transit demands in a wide range of urban and suburban settings. As a lower cost option to rail transit, many BRT lines throughout North America have exceeded expectations to increase ridership, enhance the transit experience, and drive economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We approach every planning study as a unique assignment, understanding its context within the local environment. Our planning professionals have performed more than 60 BRT studies, and aided in design and implementation of BRT in more than 45 cities across North America. Working closely with operators, governing agencies and the public, we identify the existing problems, and then define and build the best solutions to meet the needs of your town, city or region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/player.js\" async><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/rj6beyse3j.js\" async type=\"module\"><\/script><style>wistia-player[media-id='rj6beyse3j']:not(:defined) { background: center \/ contain no-repeat url('https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/rj6beyse3j\/swatch'); display: block; filter: blur(5px); padding-top:56.25%; }<\/style> <wistia-player media-id=\"rj6beyse3j\" aspect=\"1.7777777777777777\"><\/wistia-player>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solutions designed to connect<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 36px\">\n\n            <h2>Detailed design phase services<\/h2>\n        <ul class=\"list-style-check\">\n                    <li>\n                                    Civil and municipal infrastructure                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Structures design (stops, stations, bridges, tunnels)                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Landscape architecture                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Maintenance facility and depot                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Traffic operations                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Intelligent transportation systems                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Traffic operations                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Information and communication technologies (ITC)                            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"aecom-custom-block block-facts\"\n    style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 36px\">\n\n            <h2>Advisory services<\/h2>\n        <ul class=\"list-style-check\">\n                    <li>\n                                    Program management                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Technical advisory (engineering, environmental and consultation)                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Pedestrian modelling                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Transport modelling                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Feasibility studies                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Supply chain management and procurement                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Cost estimation                            <\/li>\n                    <li>\n                                    Sustainable solution development                            <\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Inclusive transit solutions for a more connected tomorrow<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bus rapid transit is a powerful tool for building more equitable communities\u2014connecting people to jobs, education, healthcare, and opportunity.
