Surface Transportation & Ports

Improvements to our transportation systems—roads, transit, freight rail, trails, and waterways—ensure that residents have easy access to their jobs, schools, homes, and recreational activities while businesses can transport goods as efficiently as possible.

ESA is experienced in completing strategic permitting and monitoring programs ranging from local roadway projects to large-scale alternative delivery/design-build construction for multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects.

These multi-phased assignments often require close coordination with transit districts, ports, regional ferry systems, railways, cities and counties, state transportation departments, and federal transportation agencies. Our team is skilled at engaging with a wide array of stakeholders, including tribes, environmental advocacy groups, and the general public.

Given our long history and successful track record of providing environmental consulting services to clients, we’re adept at addressing the operational, regulatory, and economic impacts of these complex projects.
