Meet the Experts
LaBella’s transportation team creates for the safe and efficient movement of vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. Our transportation planning process combines the science of information analysis with the art of obtaining public participation, allowing us to prioritize needs, forecast future conditions, and visualize innovative solutions.Tom Johnson, PE, PTOE
Senior Transportation Engineer
The art of traffic engineering is to properly plan roadway networks that improve mobility, enhance safety, and account for the non-motorized user while minimizing impacts to the community. Familiarity with the components of transportation systems provides us with an explicit understanding of the types of network-wide solutions that are functional, realistic, and can be readily implemented.Lorenzo Rotoli, PE, PTOE
Senior Project Manager

Our Capabilities

We offer a range of traffic and transportation planning services, with the ability to progress active transportation projects (large and small) from concept to completion.

Traffic Operations & Analysis

Traffic analysis will determine how a project looks and functions in the future. Reliable analysis is the backbone of all projects as it drives the design layout, how traffic will travel through the project area, and how it fits with the master plan. The goal is to identify feasible mitigation to minimize impacts to the community while enhancing traffic mobility and safety for all users.
