Highways are essential for prosperity – and they can also be a threat to wildlife. Here are some ideas of how these two priorities can be met, on a highway across Kenya. 

Building on its clinical expertise and in keeping with its unique academic medical organization, UCI Health envisioned a state-of-the-art hospital to consolidate its medical campus in Orange County, California.

The remediation of the former Giant Mine in Yellowknife, NWT, co-managed by the governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories, is a massive undertaking. The Giant Mine Remediation Project’s focus is on managing the arsenic trioxide waste and remediating the entire site. 

Using photogrammetry and 3D point cloud capabilities, teams can now record, analyze, and monitor mine slope stability more efficiently and, most importantly, from a safe distance.

WSP led development of a 10-year strategic plan for implementation of Road Usage Charges (RUC) for RUC America, a 20-state coalition of states exploring how to further RUC throughout the country.

The California Department of Transportation selected WSP to lead its Public/Private Roads Pilot to evaluate how a RUC program could address travel on and off public, private and tribal roadways in California.

WSP was selected by the California Department of Transportation to lead a four-phase demonstration to see how existing transportation service business models could be used to provide an easy user experience for road charge programs.

RUC America, a 20-state consortium, selected WSP to provide system definition, design and planning services in advance of a future road charge pilot (RUC) in the western U.S. This project established the foundation for a regional pilot that could, in turn, serve as a platform for a national road charge system.

WSP supported the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) to determine whether a road usage charge (RUC) would be feasible for Wyoming and how a RUC program could be deployed to help assuage an approximate $135M annual revenue shortfall.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation selected WSP to explore road usage charge-based funding alternatives to replace declining motor fuel tax revenues.

WSP was selected by the Oregon Department of Transportation to help develop an open architecture toll collection system that enhances interoperability and provides a variety of technological solutions and payment options for users.

In an effort to reduce conventional fuel costs, WSP conducted a feasibility study to convert US Army land for sustainable energy production
