Transportation Services

GFT helps transportation agencies plan, design, and operate roadway corridors and intersections that are safer, more efficient, and responsive to community needs. Our traffic experts support projects from early planning through design and implementation, delivering traffic studies, modeling, signal systems, and operational strategies that inform sound decisions. We integrate traffic engineering with roadway design, multimodal context, and emerging technologies to address congestion, safety, access, and reliability. Whether improving a single intersection or managing corridor-wide operations, we partner with owners to deliver practical, data-informed traffic solutions that support project delivery and long-term system performance.

GFT runs traffic management centers (TMCs) as mission-critical operations. We provide 24/7/365 leadership, staffing, and oversight and work as a seamless extension of agency teams. Our operators proactively detect incidents, coordinate responses, and manage complex intelligent transportation systems (ITS) environments, monitoring more than 2,000 cameras and 900 dynamic message signs daily through disciplined standard operating procedures and quality assurance/control. We pair real-time operations with performance dashboards and training built to drive consistency, accountability, and readiness, delivering faster decisions and safer outcomes for travelers, first responders, and the agencies that serve them.

GFT helps transportation agencies turn strong projects into funded programs. We support clients throughout the grant lifecycle, from early project readiness and program alignment to compelling application development and submission. Our team pairs deep transportation planning and engineering expertise with a disciplined grant development process, helping owners align projects with funding criteria, quantify benefits, and clearly communicate outcomes. We have helped clients secure over $750 million across more than 300 transportation grants nationwide. The result is clearer stories, stronger applications, and funding strategies that advance projects from concept to delivery.

GFT is a recognized leader in tunnel inspection, design, rehabilitation, and asset management, with more than 60 years of experience shaping national standards. Our experts helped define the National Tunnel Inspection Standards, developed the original Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Tunnel Management System, and authored portions of the FHWA Tunnel Operations, Maintenance, Inspection, and Evaluation Manual.

We deliver National Technical Information Service (NTIS)-compliant inspections using advanced 3D technologies to improve efficiency, reduce maintenance, and enhance energy performance. Our services include rehabilitation, fire-life safety design, water infiltration mitigation, emergency operations planning, asset management, and construction management. We help owners manage risk, extend the service life of their tunnels, and operate them safely and reliably.
