Client Projects

A few of our recent favorites

Ferndale High School

Ferndale School District

For the replacement of Ferndale High School, Transpo addressed site access, circulation, and parking needs. Extensive data collection allowed for evaluating current school travel patterns and walking and biking connectivity assessments, which led to suggested circulation improvements. The team also supported a transportation impact study, identifying potential off-site mitigation measures.

Bus Routing and Optimization

Northshore School District

As one of Washington State's largest districts, Northshore School District manages numerous buses for school transport, inter-school programs, and extracurricular activities. Transpo optimized school bus routing for start time policy changes by testing busing scenarios aligned with time goals, assisting in the implementation phase to ensure efficient transportation for the growing student population, including specialized services for students with disabilities.

Fife Elementary and High School

Fife School District

Transpo assisted the school district in design and permitting for a new elementary school co-located with Fife High School. Several scenarios were evaluated to best locate the building, parking areas, and maximize safe pick up and drop off activities. A signalized access for both the elementary and high schools was designed by Transpo. Transpo played a key role in negotiating traffic mitigation requirements with the City.
