Parking & Intermodal

BLT Architects transit / parking design experience is centered on complex multi-modal systems, such as the City Hall/15th Street/Suburban Stations, spanning multiple blocks of underground concourses and platforms. We work with municipal agencies to assess the physical condition of their facilities, to determine needed expansion, repairs, renovations, and new program innovations. We design new platforms, mezzanines, fare lines, bus depots, and intermodal parking structures, to maximize efficient use of space and create inviting, accessible and user-friendly transit environments.

Creative thinking and seamless service delivery to 24/7/365 customers.
