We equip our staff with a solid foundation in Traffic Engineering principles while encouraging them to stay curious and attentive to project specifics, thus ensuring the optimal use of analysis tools for the work in hand.

KLD has successfully completed challenging, high-profile, award-winning projects such as Midtown In Motion, For Hire Vehicle Studies, Brooklyn Queens Expressway, Restoring the George, Port Authority Bus Terminal, JFK and Newark Airports Redevelopment, and Congestion Pricing.
