Transportation planners face extraordinary pressure to solve complex mobility and safety issues while preserving environmental quality. Local Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and other roadway, railway, port and aviation facility managers consistently seek SWCA’s consulting services for projects with a high environmental profile. Our sizeable staff and teaming arrangements with engineering firms have allowed us to serve a large and diverse client base. SWCA is one of the few environmental firms to have extensive design-build experience both as environmental compliance managers for contractors and as environmental QA/QC program managers for DOTs.
