Gorove/Slade Associates provides full-scale transportation master planning services for individual jurisdictions, corridors, small areas, large campus settings and individual sites. These services are provided for public, private and public/private ventures. Transportation planning often accompanies master planning or comprehensive planning for guidance and policy direction in rural, suburban and urban areas, in geographically/topographically challenging areas along waterfronts and mountain ranges, in revitalization/redevelopment areas, in tourist and entertainment areas, in established residential communities and historic districts and in multimodal and transit oriented corridors. Campus transportation master plans for health, office, government and educational uses also present a unique challenge. Campuses often represent a community within or adjacent to another community. The on-campus/off-campus transportation interface is critical to vitality of the campus and its neighboring activities. Shared infrastructure and the balancing of mutual transportation demands against the traffic and parking uses of unique business and residential interests must be weighed and evaluated. Transportation master planning includes a traditional analytic framework of long range forecasting of trip generation and distribution, mode split and assignment. However, master planning blends quantitative and qualitative aspects as well, dealing with: access management, interparcel access, roadway and public transportation functionality, development guidelines and funding arrangements. Gorove/Slade extends the transportation planning guidance and policy to the implementation phases with identification of programs, funding opportunities and task prioritization.
