Our team brings decades of regional expertise in transportation safety, multimodal planning, engineering, public engagement, policy development, and project implementation.Together, we are well positioned to assist the City of Port Arthur through the development of a roadmap that, once implemented, creates safer streets and roads for all users through a comprehensive and data-driven strategy. TGC is the lead firm for developing this SS4A Plan. Our firm's role in this project will focus on general project management, grant management, quality assurance, existing conditions, intelligent transportation system activities, preliminary engineering, and final plan development. KHA will be the task lead for evacuation and truck route recommendations and the safety-oriented toolkit, supported by their planners, engineers, and scientists. Public engagement and engineering will be supported by LJA Engineering.This diverse team brings together our firms' top experts, ensuring the City receives the most comprehensive and tailored support possible for the City of Port Authur's SS4A Action Plan. TGC has completed comprehensive mobility and transportation planning projects for communities throughout the State of Texas—our core competency for over forty years.Clients trust TGC to tackle intricate infrastructure challenges and to enhance safety for all roadway users. Our team's passion is to create safer streets through public engagement and data-informed decision making. Safety is a fundamental precursor for people to feel comfortably move about in their community,whether by driving, walking, rolling, or biking. We also pride ourselves in working with communities that have limited budgets, are smaller in size, and want right-sized solutions to maintain the character of their City.At TGC, we do not take a one size fits all approach, but work hand in hand with staff and the community to tailor plans to match the communities we work in. The project team will be led by Eagle Tang, PE, AICP, as Project Manager, overseeing day-to-day activities and serving as the primary point of contact. Ms. Tang's expertise in both engineering and planning ensures a seamless integration of technical analysis, project development and communicating with the public. She will be supported by a highly qualified team: Robert McHaney,AICP, CTP, Project Principal; Maureen Madden, AICP, Deputy Project Manager; and Jake Gutekunst, PE,AICP, Lead Engineer.This team, as shown below in the project organization chart, has the experience and capacity to deliver a successful SS4A Action Plan for the City of Port Arthur. By working closely with City staff, TGC will foster strong relationships and ensure that this plan translates into actionable safety improvements for the foreseeable future. Should you have any questions or require any additional information in support of this proposal, please do not hesitate to call me at(512) 808-8510, or Eagle Tang at(713) 714-3530.

It will establish a vision for a safe and accessible multimodal network and identify supportive policies, programs, and projects to advance implementation. The Plan will include a data-driven assessment of current safety conditions, meaningful public engagement, creation of high-injury networks, identification of proven countermeasures, and the development of implementable projects. It will also include a funding matrix to align proposed projects with competitive discretionary funding opportunities.
