Designing A School? You Need Our Complete Streets Transportation Expertise!

August 06, 2024

HSH has successfully planned and implemented transportation programs at schools incorporating vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation. We can help!

HSH’s Schools Team has wide-ranging experience working with permit-issuing authorities, architects, landscape architects, and communities to plan safe and effective school transportation environments for walkers, bicyclists, school buses, and automobiles. Together with your design team, we can ensure that the travel needs of students, staff, parents, and municipal partners are met.

HSH can support your team by:

• Developing optimal on-site circulation that will work during drop-off and pick-up periods for buses, pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles.
• Maximizing pedestrian safety;
• Evaluating parking conditions for staff and visitors;
• Identifying and assessing future traffic conditions;
• Linking the school campus with the surrounding neighborhoods effectively; and
• Assessing nearby, off-site transportation conditions to help municipalities address neighborhood concerns.

You can be assured that HSH has the skills and expertise needed to navigate the process of providing access for all users, because we have done it before!
