Bicycle Planning & Design
Bicycling is a simple, cost-effective solution to many of our world's complex health, safety, congestion, air quality, and livability challenges. Alta's pioneering planning and design services make bicycles an integral part of daily life, wherever you are.
Pedestrian Planning & Design
Safe and rewarding places to walk should be part of every community. Pedestrian safety studies, master plans, streetscape design, Main Streets,
core area planning, and transit stations are all part of our repertoire of innovative planning and design techniques that ensure walking is viable and enjoyable.

Parks, Greenspaces, & Great Places
Parks and open spaces make our communities and regions livable and environmentally sustainable. They help to guide urban form, and protect critical habitat and agricultural areas. Special sites, spaces and structures offer recreation and respite from urban life, and sources of community pride and identity.
Greenways, Trails & Paths
The journey is as important as the destination. With thousands of built miles of bikeways, walkways, and trails under our belt, we see every challenge as a community's best opportunity. From a paved trail in an urban setting to a soft surface trail in a natural area, we've been there.
Innovations & Research
We’re at the forefront of the national movement to make more pedestrian- and bike-friendly communities, researching and employing cutting-edge planning and design techniques throughout our work.
Programs & Training
If you build it, they will come, but if you tell people about it, they will come in droves. Our personal travel encouragement and Safe Routes to Schools programs are the key to getting people out using the bike & walk infrastructure in your community.
