Transportation Planning
Moving your world forward ISL’s transportation planning services address a wide range of needs from regional transportation network assessments to more localized plans that support neighbourhoods and single development parcels.
We assist municipalities in developing multi-modal transportation policies and plans to enable effective, efficient and safe travel and mobility choices.
To support future developments, we conduct traffic and parking studies to better manage and mitigate the effects of growth. We draw on best practices and the expertise of seasoned professionals to provide innovative, practical solutions.
