Transit
Transit sites move people, vehicles, and cargo — often all at once. DLZ designs sites for state DOT roadside facilities, transit centers, transit authority operations, administration and fleet maintenance facilities, inland port facilities, and offices. Because we routinely take these projects from concept through construction, we’re able to balance creativity, functionality, client vision, and constructability in every transit project — and it shows: DLZ’s Detroit Department of Transportation Jason Hargrove Transit Center was selected ENR’s 2024 Best Airport/Transit Project.
Our site civil engineers are cross-trained across site design, drainage, subsurface utilities, and transportation systems, letting them respond holistically to the interrelated demands of transit authority projects — and for inland ports, to coordinate shoreline stabilization and marine structures with yard layout, stormwater systems, and secure inspection operations. We focus on thoroughly understanding the operational and security needs of each site, so the solution we deliver gets access, traffic flow, security, circulation, and exterior amenities right, with the multidisciplinary depth to keep projects cost-effective, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
