Transportation Planning

TJW Engineering provides comprehensive transportation planning services that support smart, informed decision-making for communities, developments, and public agencies. The firm focuses on creating sustainable, data-driven strategies that balance mobility, safety, land use, and long-term growth.

Multimodal Transportation Planning

Successful transportation planning accommodates all modes — vehicles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians. TJW develops multimodal plans that improve accessibility and connectivity while anticipating future travel demands.

Services include:

  • Pedestrian and bicycle network analysis
  • Transit coordination and accessibility assessments
  • Growth and demand forecasting

Traffic Impact Studies

Traffic impact studies (TIS) are essential for understanding how new development will affect local transportation networks. These studies inform project design and mitigation strategies that minimize delays and promote safety.

Services include:

  • Traffic impact analysis and modeling
  • Intersection and corridor assessments
  • Mitigation recommendations tied to engineering solutions

(TIS is often required by agencies during entitlement or permitting.)

Growth & Demand Forecasting

Planning for the future requires reliable forecasting. TJW analyzes current and projected land use, demographic trends, and transportation patterns to help clients plan for growth while managing congestion and capacity.

Services include:

  • Travel demand modeling
  • Scenario planning for development build-out
  • Long-range forecasting for infrastructure planning

Active Transportation &
Complete Streets

Modern transportation systems must prioritize safety and access for all users. TJW’s active transportation planning supports bicycle, pedestrian, and micromobility infrastructure that enhances safety and encourages non-motorized travel.

Services include:

  • Sidewalk and crosswalk planning
  • Bicycle facility design support
  • Integrating multimodal networks into planning studies

Parking Studies

Well-planned parking supports site functionality, safety, and user experience. TJW prepares parking studies that evaluate demand, utilization, and regulatory requirements to ensure developments provide the right amount of parking without over- or under-supplying spaces.

Services include:

  • Parking demand and supply analysis
  • Utilization and turnover studies
  • Shared parking and management strategies

Drive-Thru Queue Studies

Drive-thru facilities must be designed to operate efficiently without disrupting surrounding traffic or on-site circulation. TJW conducts drive-thru queue studies to evaluate vehicle stacking, service times, and peak-hour conditions to support safe and compliant site designs.

Services include:

  • Drive-thru demand and queue length evaluation
  • On-site circulation and stacking assessments
  • Spillback and access impact review

Land Use &
Transportation Integration

Transportation doesn’t exist in a vacuum — land use patterns influence travel behavior and capacity needs. TJW evaluates how land development affects mobility and provides strategies for integrated transportation and land use planning.

Services include:

  • Land use impact evaluations
  • Connectivity and access assessments
  • Policy-supportive recommendations for growth areas

Community Engagement & Visualization

Effective transportation planning is both technical and people-focused. TJW supports meaningful community engagement through outreach, workshops, and visual tools that help stakeholders understand plans and provide feedback.

Services include:

  • Public meeting facilitation
  • Visual graphics and plan exhibits
  • Stakeholder coordination and reporting
