Transportation

Neel-Schaffer understands that efficient, safe, context-sensitive transportation is vital to our quality of life. Highways, municipal streets, bike paths, and greenbelts serve to bind us together while providing links to ports, airports and railroads. These links in turn open our markets to the world and help ensure a strong, healthy economy, since the transportation of goods and people directly affects the viability of the governmental and private clients that form a major part of our client base.
 
All phases of transportation engineering under one roof.
 
Neel-Schaffer’s professional staff of engineers, planners and environmental scientists is experienced in all phases and all modes of transportation system planning, environmental studies, design, construction, reconstruction, and maintenance. We assist clients in finding cost-efficient ways to move people and goods, improve safety, ease congestion, and extend the life of the facility. Neel-Schaffer is widely recognized for our expertise in transportation planning and traffic engineering. From design of signalized intersections in urban areas to preparation of environmental impact statements and design for interstate highways, we have established a legacy of quality performance.
 
Many members of Neel-Schaffer’s transportation environmental and design staff are former DOT employees that have retired from these agencies and are now following a second career. These highly trained and experienced engineers and technicians enable us to meet the challenges and complexities of design and construction of transportation systems in the 21st century.
