At Parsons, we have a fully integrated planning department to help prepare our designers, engineers, and clients for the many possibilities presented by modern transit and transportation needs. Learn more about the focus we place on transportation planning below:<\/p>\n\t<h4>New Opportunities<\/h4>\n\t\t\t <p>Advents such as micro-mobility, transportation network companies (e.g., Uber and Lyft), on-demand transit, paratransit, battery-electric vehicles and infrastructure, hydrogen fuel-cell electric technology, etc. have all presented new opportunities, efficiencies, and challenges to Departments of Transportation and Transit Agencies. Planning, analyzing, modeling, and planning again helps to ensure all facets, considerations, stakeholders, and risks are properly assessed and valued in the future projects.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<h4>A Greater Focus On Planning<\/h4>\n\t\t\t <p>As a discipline, there has been a greater value placed by Departments of Transportation and Transit Agencies upon planning, as evidenced by the establishment of their own internal planning departments. These departments are also leading the grantmaking process, which allows for additional, supplemental funding to be available to these owners for future projects and modernization. As a result, Parsons has adapted our planning and grantmaking team to align with our client&#8217;s approach and to coordinate with our design engineers.<\/p>\t\t\n\t<h4>Technology Integration<\/h4>\n\t\t\t <p>Our planners are experienced with technology, such as power demand modeling, fixed-route transit modeling, paratransit modeling, financial modeling, share procurement design, managed and automated traffic management software, and much more, as a means to make future transportation and transit enhancements more efficient and effective.<\/p>\t\t\n<h2>Digitizing Rail And Transit Infrastructure<\/h2>\n\t<p>To help guide our clients through their digitalization journey, our Digital Advisors develop a holistic roadmap with a focus on strategy, technology enablement, enhanced operations, and impactful outcomes.

These innovations improve bus performance &#8211; namely, improving travel reliability during peak hours of congestion.<\/p>\n<h4>East Colfax Avenue BRT: Denver, Colorado<\/h4>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/23_1103-Overall-Birdseye-004.jpg\" alt=\"Colfax Ave\" \/>\n<p>The 10-mile East Colfax BRT corridor will link downtown Denver, adjacent communities, and the Anschutz Medical Campus along this key east-west transportation route, reducing transit travel time by up to 15 minutes, increasing transit ridership and providing more affordable and reliable access to over 250,000 jobs and community services along the corridor. The project includes 5.5 miles of exclusive center-running BRT lanes, 1.5 miles of side-running transit lanes, 3 miles of side-running mixed-flow lanes, 32 stations, and requires extensive coordination with multiple City and County of Denver departments, FTA, the Regional Transportation District, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and the City of Aurora along with wide-ranging stakeholder coordination and public involvement. We supported FTA and NEPA approvals, as well as preliminary engineering plans, for the locally preferred alternative, and are continuing to provide final design services to put this BRT program into revenue service in 2026.<\/p>\n<h4>West Valley Connector Corridor: Ontario, CA<\/h4>\nThe West Valley Connector project will be a 100% zero-emission BRT system. Phase I of the project is 19 miles and includes 3.5 miles of exclusive center-running BRT lanes, 15.5 miles of mixed-flow lanes, transit signal priority (TSP) and queue jump lanes, and 21 stations. Our team led environmental clearances and preliminary engineering and helped the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) to secure a successful FTA capital improvement grant for $86 million. The project is currently underway with Parsons providing final design services with anticipated revenue service beginning in 2023. The project is intended to provide enhanced transit service in the most heavily traveled bus corridor in the area and improved connectivity with local bus and commuter rail services. \n<h4>East Bay Bus Rapid Transit: Oakland, California<\/h4>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/East-Bay.jpg\" alt=\"East Bay Bus Rapid Transit\" \/>\n<p>With the goal of improving reliability and reducing travel time for residents and visitors to the Bay Area, Parsons completed environmental assessment, preliminary engineering, final design, and design support during construction for the East Bay BRT project. The project converted one traffic lane in each direction to dedicated bus use for a 9.5-mile corridor between downtown Oakland and San Leandro. Including more than 40 new traffic signals, modification of 75 existing signals, TSP at all signalized intersections, and 34 new passenger stations with level boarding, this extensive project has made an impact on transit travelers in the region. <\/p>\n<h4>sbX Green Line: San Bernadino, California<\/h4>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/SBX.jpg\" alt=\"sBX Green Line\" \/>\nParsons completed all work on the 15.7-mile sbX Green Line BRT project, which included activities from planning to final design, and a $75M FTA Small Starts grant. The project included 5.4 miles of center-running, exclusive BRT lanes; 10.3 miles of mixed-flow lanes; 23 stations with level boarding platforms; and four park-and-ride facilities. The project is one of only four BRT projects in the U.S. recognized as a high-quality BRT corridor with a Bronze rating. The project also won a regional award for excellence in transportation planning.\n<h4>Euclid (HealthLine) Corridor: Cleveland, Ohio<\/h4>\n<p>We provided project management oversight (PMO) services for this award-winning rapid transit project. The corridor connects the two largest regional employment areas, Downtown and University Circle, and extends to the Louis Stokes Station at Windermere in East Cleveland. Parsons oversaw the development of the 7-mile corridor including 36 stations, right-hand and left-hand level boarding platforms, and 21 articulated diesel-electric hybrid vehicles. Our oversight team developed staffing plans, utilities management, and construction safety, and risk assessment and mitigation plans. This BRT project was awarded an $82 million FTA New Starts Grant and achieved a silver rating by the BRT Standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/BRT-Rendering-1.jpg\" alt=\"BRT-Rendering-1\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"296\" width=\"425\" title=\"BRT-Rendering-1\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2 id=\"Zero-Emission-Bus\">Zero Emission Bus (ZEB)<\/h2>\n\t<p>The U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Zero-Emission Bus (ZEB) initiative for 2040 represents a new frontier in transportation and sustainability.
