Traffic Engineering Services

Polk County is home to a mix of urban centers, suburban communities, and rural areas. As the county continues to grow, effective traffic management becomes increasingly important to reduce congestion, enhance safety, and optimize traffic flow. Our traffic engineering services include:

• Traffic impact analysis (TIA) to evaluate the effects of new developments and infrastructure projects on local traffic patterns, particularly along major corridors like US-98, US-92, and the I-4 interstate.
  
  
• Traffic simulation to forecast traffic conditions and optimize roadway performance in busy areas such as Lakeland’s Southgate Shopping Center, the Polk Parkway, and Winter Haven’s downtown district.
  
  
• Traffic calming plans to improve safety in residential neighborhoods, including areas surrounding schools, parks, and senior living communities in both urban and rural parts of the county.
  
  
• Safety assessments to identify high-risk intersections and areas prone to accidents, providing targeted recommendations for improvements to road design, signage, and traffic controls along major routes like the Polk Parkway and I-4.
  
  

Our solutions are designed to promote better traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance safety for all users.

Parking Planning

As Polk County experiences growth, especially in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and surrounding areas, the demand for efficient and accessible parking systems increases. Our parking planning services help meet the needs of expanding residential, commercial, and tourism sectors while ensuring sustainable mobility. We offer:

• Comprehensive parking studies to assess existing parking systems in high-demand areas such as the Lakeland Highlands, downtown Winter Haven, and the upcoming development projects around the I-4 corridor.
  
  
• Parking demand analysis to forecast the future needs of rapidly growing urban areas, including the creation of parking solutions in high-traffic zones like Lakeland’s historic downtown and Winter Haven’s chain of lakes areas.
  
  
• Sustainable parking solutions, including the integration of Parksmart certification, the addition of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and environmentally-friendly parking initiatives in the county’s tourist-heavy and residential areas.
  
  

Our parking strategies are designed to optimize space utilization, enhance accessibility, and minimize environmental impact.

Mobility Planning

Polk County’s dynamic mix of urban, suburban, and rural communities requires a comprehensive approach to mobility planning. As growth in areas like Lakeland and Winter Haven continues, we focus on creating transportation systems that are inclusive, accessible, and sustainable for all. Our mobility planning services include:

• Complete streets design to improve pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist safety, especially in areas like Downtown Lakeland, Winter Haven’s historic district, and high-traffic areas near major highways such as I-4.
  
  
• Curb lane management to optimize curbside use for parking, drop-off zones, and public transit, particularly in downtown Lakeland and near key commercial districts across Polk County.
  
  
• Transportation demand management (TDM) strategies to improve traffic flow by promoting alternative modes of transportation, including rideshare programs, public transit options, and pedestrian-friendly design, particularly around areas like Lakeland’s Central Business District and Winter Haven’s Chain of Lakes.
  
  
• Transit-oriented development (TOD) planning around key transportation hubs and corridors, such as the Polk Parkway and the proposed SunRail expansion, to create more sustainable, mixed-use developments with easy access to public transportation.
