How We Help Municipalities
A core mission of Trans Associates is to serve municipal clients by providing innovative solutions for transportation planning and traffic related issues. Our firm has the technical expertise and experience to address the transportation aspects of comprehensive plans and resolve community transportation concerns. We focus on solutions that are safe, effective and designed to promote the long term vitality of the community.
Assisting municipalities with Traffic Impact Fee Programs
Trans Associates is experienced with guiding our municipal clients in the development of transportation capital improvement plans. We perform the requisite studies to prepare a transportation capital improvements plan as part of enacting a transportation impact fee ordinance. Impact fees from the ordinance apply to new development and redevelopment within the proposed tax increment financing (TIF) district. These impact fees create a funding source to implement future transportation improvements.
Municipal Reviews
Trans Associates regularly serves in an oversight and review capacity for municipal clients. A key component of our municipal service is the review of engineering studies, plans and recommendations as submitted by other engineering firms. This oversight helps to protect the municipality’s interest and advocate for their residents. Public meeting attendance is part of our service.
Municipal reviews may include:
- Providing independent quality and safety reviews for the public
- Recommending action plans for enhancing performance in areas where there may be some deficiency
- Assessment of whether or not specific implementation goals and methods and definitions of measurement are appropriate or could be improved
- School Zone Reviews
- Development plan reviews
