Relying on current and seasoned professional experience and constantly updated modeling software programs, McMahon will identify your place in future regional transportation needs, evaluate improvement alternatives, and develop a transportation plan to achieve the region’s vision of its transportation network. McMahon has completed numerous regional studies of varying scopes that have ranged from a single roadway corridor extending through multiple jurisdictions, to municipal- or County-wide transportation studies involving various roadways and intersections, to interstate points-of-access studies, to municipal- and County-wide comprehensive planning efforts.

A true transportation system integrates vehicle, rail, and bicycle routes transit for both commercial and individual use. McMahon’s portfolio includes many hallmark examples of efficient transportation planning that include multimodal networks to maximize efficiency.

As you prepare for future traffic demands, let McMahon equip you with the best in Travel Demand Modeling. We continually invest in the latest transportation planning and modeling software and training to evaluate your future traffic growth and develop improvement strategies. We can model a key intersection or region, having completed travel demand models municipalities, state departments of transportation, and Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

Animated graphical images are worth a thousand words. Traffic simulation models provide an invaluable tool when presenting traffic analysis results to the public, reviewing agencies and governmental bodies, as the computer animation allows a viewer to actually see traffic conditions occurring “real-time” on a transportation system. Computer animation of improved traffic conditions makes recommendations understandable. More than a show-tool, traffic simulation modeling gives you tools for more thorough analysis, aided by McMahon engineers, who are well-trained to use this tool, and its continually updated software versions.

Determining the appropriate parking needs of an area, a neighborhood, a single destination, or a group of land uses, is important to accommodate the parking demands of its residents, guests, and customers. On the other hand, it is also important in many cases to avoid providing an overabundance of parking due to construction and maintenance costs, aesthetic reasons, and environmental factors. McMahon is fully experienced in completing parking needs and utilization studies that identify the peak parking needs and daily trends of a single-use or multi-use facility, including variations due to availability of public transportation, shared parking characteristics of adjacent land uses, development density, local policies, and price of parking. McMahon also uses this experience to assist local jurisdictions in developing parking ordinance requirements.

McMahon’s corporate culture is uniquely personal. We attract engineers who are personable and make communicating well part of their ongoing training. Good communication with the public about a proposed transportation improvement requires start to finish attention. Individuals in an affected area need time to absorb information. If given the opportunity to participate in the planning process, they often turn from opposing a plan to supporting it. In public and private, we present accurate information clearly, we listen to the response, and we clearly demonstrate that we’ve considered stakeholders needs so your decision-making process moves more smoothly, with the maximum level of support possible.
