A resilient rail or mass transit network must be able to withstand extreme weather events, including potential damage caused by heat. It must also hold up to the rigors of use, whether by passengers or freight trains. TRC offers transit design services that account for the many factors influencing a system’s lifespan to deliver greater resiliency.
Driving Safety, Reliability and Profit
Bringing creativity and new possibilities to rail and transit systems.
For more than 150 years, railroads have played a workhorse role in the American economy.
That tradition has become even more critical today as increased demands are placed on freight and passenger service to support expanding urban populations, increasing energy demands and booming trade.
TRC understands the challenges of maintaining the safety and reliability of American railroads, tracks, bridges, stations, signals, maintenance shops, railyards and utilities.
Leveraging our superior environmental and engineering resources, we offer an unsurpassed range of talent and experience in all facets of railroad engineering, planning and construction.
