Across our industry, one statistic continues to stand out: tens of thousands of people lose their lives on U.S. roadways each year. It’s a sobering reminder that even with all our progress, there’s more work ahead. Safety has to be built into the way we plan, design, and deliver infrastructure, not added after the fact.
That same sentiment is behind our new multimodal transportation safety service line, which brings together DRMP’s planning, engineering, and design expertise to help communities put safety first. Our Project Development and Environmental Services (PDES) team takes a practical, real-world view, looking beyond data to understand how people get around, what obstacles they face, and how design can make travel safer for everyone.
Across the industry, we’re seeing a continued focus on safety and resilience. Engineering News-Record’s 2025 Top 400 report shows that transportation remains one of the strongest markets, with an 11.4 percent year-over-year increase in revenue as communities reinvest in infrastructure that connects and protects people. Research from Zweig Group points to a broader shift as clients prioritize results that strengthen communities and deliver visible improvements in safety, sustainability, and long-term value.
At DRMP, we’re helping clients move from ideas to implementation faster. Quick-build and pilot projects let us test solutions in real time, gather community feedback, and fine-tune designs before they become permanent. By layering data on exposure, speed, conflict, and equity, we help our clients set priorities that are measurable, fundable, and supported by the people they serve.
Our reach and resources are strengthened through collaboration with our fellow partner firms under the Trilon Group, whose combined expertise helps us deliver innovative solutions that fit the character and needs of each community we serve. Together, we’re helping clients create safer networks, stronger partnerships, and more connected communities.
Every roadway tells a story about how a community moves and grows. By keeping safety and equity at the forefront, DRMP is helping communities move forward safely and together.
