Toole Design Group (TDG) is a full-service planning and design firm with offices in Washington, DC; Boston, MA; Madison, WI; and Seattle, WA. We have a national reputation in transportation master planning, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle research and facility design, rail-trail planning and design, "Complete Streets" design, transit accessibility, Safe Routes to School planning and design, and a variety of other related areas. We are particularly skilled in retrofitting transportation systems, making walking, bicycling and transit-use safer and more convenient modes of transportation.

We have an outstanding reputation for results-oriented planning. Our plans identify specific locations for improvements, set priorities for implementation, and provide initial cost estimates. More importantly, our planning process builds momentum among city and elected officials, advocates, and the general public to ensure projects and programs move forward immediately upon completion. Our focus is in multi-modal transportation -- developing cost-effective, practical transportation solutions that move people efficiently, while improving the health and quality of life of the community.

TDG has practical experience taking planning level concepts and turning them into reality. With design staff from varied backgrounds, we have the ability to take challenging and ambitious design goals, and develop detailed documents that make construction go smoothly, minimize adverse impacts, and produce cost-effective results. We have accomplished this on a variety of projects including, on-street bike facilities, shared-use paths, intersection and pedestrian safety improvements, streetscapes, parks, and wayfinding sign systems.

TDG offers a diverse, experienced team of professionals in the fields of planning, civil engineering, landscape architecture, public health and GIS mapping. We are proud of our reputation for being green: approximately 70% of our staff regularly commute to work via bicycle, metro bus, or metro rail.
