Streetcar & Light Rail
Whether you’re building a new rail line or expanding an existing system, streetcar and light rail (LRT) projects are interwoven into our communities and need to accommodate all modes of transportation—including buses, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians—into their design considerations.
With so many moving parts, many stakeholders are involved, including local jurisdictions, Class I railroads, federal agencies, or private interests. It is essential to have a transit consultant who can expertly navigate these complexities, and Kimley-Horn is adept at handling these complicated projects while managing schedules and budgets that honor your time and investment.
