Transit Modes

RVB+A works across various passenger transit modes.  The company’s roots and primary focus are on rail transportation and that has taken us from streetcars and people movers, through light, heavy and commuter rail to highspeed rail projects currently underway.  We have experience with some of the more unusual related technologies and projects as well, working with monorails and even magnetic levitation.  Throughout our history we have stayed at the forefront of public transportation, expanding to work on bus and ferry transportation projects.  Our broad, varied background allows us to provide a big picture approach to our clients and provide those clients with comprehensive services.
