WSP’s rail and transit expertise spans more than a century, beginning with the design of the New York City subway system. Today, we support passenger rail, metro, light rail and bus rapid transit systems across the globe, helping agencies expand capacity, modernize assets and improve passenger experience while maintaining service continuity.

WSP works with freight rail owners, operators and public agencies to improve network performance and economic competitiveness. Our services include feasibility and business case development, capacity and operational analysis, traffic forecasting and multimodal assessments to support informed investment and policy decisions.

WSP supports the adoption of advanced technologies that make rail and transit systems safer, more efficient and more resilient. We help agencies and operators integrate digital tools, automation and data-driven solutions into both new and existing networks, aligned with operational objectives and regulatory requirements.
