Promoting Local Economies through Increased Transportation Access

Transportation is about much more than simply mobility, it’s also about enhancing environments and creating infrastructure for healthier, more active communities. Access to public assets and more resilient economies is at the core of Otak’s transportation design. Our practical yet innovative approach solves real community challenges, opening paths to opportunity while simplifying day-to-day lives.

Roadway Design

Streets and roadways represent the network of passageways that connect our communities. From local roads to major highways, our team understands the infrastructure elements for all facets of quality roadway design. We work extensively with departments of transportation and relevant agencies for efficient and compliant processes to completion. An integration of engineering, landscape, and urban design balances roadway improvement with safety and accessibility, blending the aesthetic character of communities with multi-modal functionality.

Transit Planning & Design

Otak solves mobility issues by introducing safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing transit environments through facility design and Transit Oriented Design (TOD) planning which combines housing design with transit, providing greater access to transportation for communities. To provide better, more user-friendly transit access within FTA funding requirements, our team devises design-oriented solutions, such as transit station and park and ride design, branding treatments, various facility design and support, and corridor planning.

Active Transportation & Trails

Whether as part of an urban or suburban corridor, or in local, state, or national parks and wilderness areas, our landscape architects and engineers merge transportation, sustainability, and public health by planning, designing, building, and improving trails and trailheads. By reducing distances between key destinations and improving pedestrian facilities and infrastructures, Otak facilitates equitable access to public areas, opening them up to low-income communities where transportation can be a burden.
