DAAR’s highly qualified planners and engineers assist public agencies and private clients to solve complex problems in order to enhance our urban and transportation systems. Our ability to analyze, prepare and prioritize transportation improvements as well as urban and land use plans reflects the diversity of DAAR’s team and its commitment to an integrated, interdisciplinary approach. Our transportation planning experience ranges from the evaluation of corridors, accommodating evolving traffic and safety demands to roadway capacity expansion and multi-modal studies.

As an important component of our understanding of transportation’s reciprocal relationship to land use, DAAR’s planning expertise is built on a foundation of sound principles and systems thinking. Our experience with corridor, downtown & neighborhood planning not only takes into account the urban design and policies affecting the built environment, but also integrates all transportation modes and movement patterns into the planning process.

Using a variety of graphic and participation techniques, DAAR specializes in communicating complex engineering, planning and design concepts to stakeholders and clients clearly and concisely. DAAR specifically crafts each deliverable, meeting and workshop with the same goal in mind: achieving consensus in, and ownership of, the results.
