Rising gas prices, traffic gridlock, the effects of smog and pollution on public health all speak to the need for public transit which is vital to a healthy, sustainable city. Working people, students, parents, senior citizens and large employers are among those who understand that our interconnected urban life would be unimaginable without public transit.

For over the past 55 years, Giffels has been consulting in the public transit sector and completed many assignments for various transit agencies. Building public infrastructure such as subway lines or intercity rail services is often subject to a variety of constraints and conflicting demands, including political factors, financial realities, spatial and technical limitations, historical considerations, and public opinion. Our firm has the experience and multi-disciplinary approach needed to assist transit authorities in achieving their goals.

Our work includes feasibility studies, planning and concept design, detailed design, services during construction and commissioning. This is achieved by adhering to ISO 9001, Giffels Continuous Improvement Program and Giffels Quality System (GQS) and Leed Certification.
