Careers at TKDA

Transportation Solutions for Wisconsin Agencies

Transportation agencies in Wisconsin bare the responsibility of keeping communities connected and infrastructure moving forward, even as limited staff capacity, funding requirements, and project timelines create increasingly complex challenges. Working with the right consultant makes that work easier.

At TKDA, we partner with state and local agencies on projects of all sizes. Whether additional capacity is needed for a specific service or multidisciplinary expertise is required on a project, our team works alongside clients to understand the need, define the scope, and develop solutions that fit the project.

Our approach starts with clarity. We take the time to understand the full project scope, priorities, available funding, and client expectations before building the right team around the project. That allows us to provide additional capacity where it is needed without adding unnecessary complexity.

Practical Solutions for Real-World Constraints

A successful transportation project is not about designing the biggest solution. It is about finding the right solution for the budget, schedule, and community need. We focus on practical designs that help clients make the most of available resources. For cities and counties, that means right-sizing improvements around local budgets and constraints while helping agencies advance projects within tight funding windows.

Our multidisciplined team allows us to look beyond one piece of a project and consider how roadway design, drainage, structures, traffic operations, multimodal needs, and surrounding infrastructure work together.

Integrated Surface Transportation Expertise

We provide a range of surface transportation services that support projects from early planning through design and implementation. Together, these capabilities allow our teams to address the interconnected challenges that shape transportation projects rather than treating each discipline in isolation.

Highway and Roadway
Our team plans and designs safe, efficient transportation systems that strengthen mobility and support communities. From transportation planning and traffic analysis to roadway design and pavement management, we deliver practical solutions that improve safety, connectivity, and long-term transportation performance.
Bridges and Structures
Our bridge team delivers new and rehabilitated bridges, retaining walls, culverts, and sign structures. From inspection and design through construction, we create safe, innovative, cost-effective solutions that improve mobility, connect communities, and help minimize long-term maintenance needs.
Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning
We combine transportation planning, traffic analysis, and community engagement to create solutions grounded in how people move. From corridor and traffic impact studies to multimodal planning, our work improves safety, mobility, operational capacity, and quality of life throughout communities.
Water Resources
We help clients solve complex stormwater challenges through thoughtful planning, design, permitting, and construction. Our team develops hydraulic, hydrologic, drainage, and water quality solutions that balance cost, long-term maintenance, flood control, and environmental considerations.
Trails
Our team plans and designs trails and greenways that connect communities to outdoor destinations. From concept through construction, we create multimodal infrastructure that improves safety, accessibility, and convenience, helping people walk, bike, and move through their communities with ease.

Moving Infrastructure Forward

Ultimately, transportation infrastructure is about more than roads, bridges, trails, water management, or traffic operations. Wisconsin agencies need responsive partners who understand their priorities, communicate clearly, and provide the right support from planning through design and construction. With limited time, funding, and staff capacity, TKDA brings a practical, collaborative approach to help agencies deliver transportation improvements that strengthen the connections communities rely on every day.
