Express Lanes enhance the driving experience by reducing congestion, providing more reliable travel times, and generating revenue to fund maintenance, operations and future transportation projects.
At TRC, we understand the importance of delivering efficient, innovative, and pragmatic transportation projects. We focus on offering agile and adaptable engineering and construction management services for express lanes, which provide a sustainable way to manage roadway capacity.
When You Choose TRC, You Receive Peace of Mind Through:
- Comprehensive, Specialized Project Support: Our team knows what it takes to deliver express lane projects during design and through construction, including via traditional and alternative delivery methods. Our clients benefit from our expertise in design development of toll highway system and express lane facilities in coordination with Toll Service Providers. This makes sure the transportation infrastructure is maintainable and provides a seamless driving experience and revenue collection in a timely manner. Through construction, we coordinate to support a forward thinking vision of how projects may interact with future infrastructure, such as our work on SBCTA’s I-15 Express Lanes and the future Brightline West terminus.
- Partnership with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs): We understand the valued partnership needed with MPOs to deliver express lanes. In Southern California, we’re proud to have partnered with each of the five MPOs to deliver design and construction phase projects. These projects include express lanes for LA Metro, SBCTA, and OCTA and represent a significant portion of the express lane network in Southern California. Our experience demonstrates our understanding of the highway system, including express/managed lanes, as a system, allowing us to adapt our approach to anticipate needs, solve challenges before they arise, and go beyond what’s asked.
- Safety First Culture: TRC’s approach to safety is rooted in prevention, not reaction. This philosophy spans from design of safety systems and site safety to the management of risk to reduce cost and schedule impacts. Safety is embedded in our company culture, with programs such as our Safety Reporting System (SRS) that digitally collects safe catches, near misses, and any incidents within a consolidated system. We are committed to ensuring safety remains a top priority.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: TRC has a reputation of being a valued partner to the clients and stakeholders with whom we work. We coordinate effectively with transportation agencies, local municipalities, community representatives, and the traveling public. Our collaborative approach promotes frictionless project delivery, keeping the broad goal of an improved transportation network in mind.
- Constructability Focused: TRC recognizes the significance of future infrastructure developments and their potential impact on tolling facilities, as well as how to maintain operations during construction. We bring proven experience in coordinating with major planned projects—such as high-speed rail and other rail or transit services—to minimize disruption to tolling operations and infrastructure. By focusing on constructability, we help keep traffic safely moving and revenue flowing.
