Solutions that put people first.

Multimodal Operations Analysis

Multimodal analysis is more complex than ever. With expanding geographies, new modes of travel, longer time periods to assess, and increasingly sophisticated operational tools, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

We take a holistic, systemwide approach. We analyze interactions between transportation modes, pinpoint friction points and opportunities, and recommend context-specific strategies that improve network performance. Our deep understanding of how each aspect of a transportation system works together helps us align the right analysis tools with project timelines, design needs, and client priorities—shaping smarter, safer, and more efficient multimodal transportation networks.

Our Expertise

Clients come to us to:

  • Develop Defensible Performance Measures: Create reliable performance indicators for transportation impact analysis.
  • Balance User Needs: Compare performance measures across travel modes to balance the needs of all users.
  • Evaluate Design Options Early: Quickly identify feasible, cost-effective solutions early in the process.
  • Validate Models: Apply advanced data sources to calibrate and validate operational models to use as a base for cost-benefit analysis for infrastructure alternatives.
  • Evaluate Accessibility: Simulate multimodal travel to evaluate accessibility, help identify potential impacts, and provide possible solutions for all modes.
  • Explore Future Scenarios: Assess future needs and settings with varying levels of connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology.
  • Deliver Clear, Action-Oriented Results: Summarize analysis outputs in an intuitive, visual format that is quickly understandable by all audiences so that decisions can be made with confidence.
