Active Transportation Champions While many of our industry peers approach transportation projects from the sole perspective of the motorist, Alta considers the perspective of the end user who is biking, walking, and taking public transportation. Our engineers design improvements that make roadways and intersections safer, easier to understand for all users, and more comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians. Alta is a national leader in planning and designing bikeway solutions, having authored the National Association of City Transportati: n Officials (NACTO) Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Caltrans' Complete Intersections handbook, and most recently, the Quick -Build Guide: How to Build Safer Streets Quickly and Affordably to help communities during the COVID-19 Pandemic (co-authored with the California Bicycle Coalition). Given our depth of expertise, we can proactively work through potential project challenges to carry out Santa Ana's vision for this on -call. Areas of Service Alta takes an all-inclusive approach to designing streetscapes and sidewalks to be efficient and safe for all users. We are fully rooted in the fundamentals of traditional civil engineering principles while envisioning more active, equitable, and accessible environments for all users. Our staff has specialized expertise in traffic calming, on -street bikeways, context -sensitive design, Safe Routes to School, Complete Streets, transit corridors, access, circulation, urban design, new mobility integration, and many other aspects of creating safe and intuitive on -street facilities that work seamlessly with adjacent sidewalk and trail systems.
