New technologies are rapidly enabling innovations in transportation modes and services. In just a few years, these innovations have brought us ride-hail services, autonomous vehicles, bicycle-sharing systems, ride-pooling services and more. The impacts of these services on our transportation system have largely gone unmeasured.

An optimized combination of policy initiatives across strategic planning, project development, finance, design and delivery, technology, operations and maintenance will drive development. WSP USA works with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s operating administrations, national-governmental organizations and other stakeholders to advance the state-of-the practice within local, state and regional governments and agencies to deliver service better, faster, safer and more reliably.
