Buildings, structures, and sites play a critical role in the function of our transportation infrastructure. Public-facing facilities like parking structures, terminals, and transit stops are highly visible examples. The back-of-house facilities that are equally important to efficient and accessible transportation include intermodal freight terminals, fueling and charging facilities, snow removal equipment buildings, and operations and maintenance (public works) facilities. TKDA’s deep experience designing railroad, aviation, and surface transportation infrastructure for more than a century is paralleled by our work on the facilities that support it. 

With experience in municipal, county, regional, state, rail, and transit operations, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner to our clients and a leader in park and ride and commuter transit design and planning. TKDA’s team works hard to create safe and efficient options that enhance communities and the lives of riders who use them. 

TKDA’s deep experience in airfield engineering and our constant drive to fully serve our clients’ needs has led us to extensive airfield facility design. From air freight facilities to snow removal equipment buildings and hangers, our building and site design experts collaborate with experienced airfield engineering teams and partners to support safe and efficient air travel. 

TKDA’s team of specialized experts deliver complete solutions in the planning and design of operations and maintenance facilities for a wide range of clients, including state departments of transportation, counties, municipalities, and private industry.  

Effective and efficient operations and maintenance facilities are critical to providing essential service and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. These facilities house a variety of functions, including light rail and locomotive maintenance, bus maintenance, service vehicle maintenance, roadway salt and equipment storage, and staff support functions that keep our transportation systems running smoothly.
