We offer industry-leading transportation planning, operations, design, project management, and construction administration services to clients across the United States.
While we provide large-scale highway design and construction services to DOTs, cities, and counties, we also specialize in local transportation services such as neighborhood and sub-area traffic studies, intersection safety and capacity analyses, modal integration, and corridor studies. Our team guides your project from conceptual planning, preliminary design, implementation plans, including competitive funding strategies and pursuits, regulatory approval, and construction. We get your stakeholders involved, learn about their interests, and find sustainable solutions for your goals.
We also provide tailored active transportation solutions for communities, from planning complete streets to designing bike facilities. Active transportation services are designed with your needs in mind, offering a sustainable and healthy way to navigate our community. By choosing to walk, bike, or use other non-motorized forms of transport, you can enjoy the benefits of reduced traffic congestion and improved air quality.
Transportation Funding
Our funding team is unmatched when it comes to developing and delivering complex funding plans. Our success is rooted in in-depth understanding of the variety of programs available and eligible uses, and experienced creativity in allocating funds across all elements of a project. We “squeeze every lemon” to ease the local financial burden while delivering a project that exceeds your community’s vision. We also think beyond the pavement and consider opportunities for stormwater, habitat restoration, community development and more. No community or project is too big or too small to receive our priority service and commitment.
In the past five years, our team has secured over $600 million in competitive funds. Of which, over 60% of secured funds were bundled together into comprehensive funding plans that delivered projects at an average local agency contribution of only 20%.
Our funding service prioritizes our project partnerships with clients, demonstrating our commitment to making sure plans reach reality. We strategically developed a well-rounded funding team made up of planners, engineers, marketing and communication specialists, and technical writers that are integrated across Bolton & Menk’s services. This team model avoids missed pursuit opportunities, ensures technically sound and persuasive applications, and effectively brings this expertise together on multi-disciplinary project teams. We understand the nuances of funding pursuits, that your resources and budgets can be limited, and that not every pursuit leads to success. We work hard to maintain trust, guiding you through the complex funding ecosystem, prioritizing the most likely successes, and providing a customized service that meets your needs.
