The Madison Metropolitan area’s transportation needs continue to evolve. Today, the conversation is no longer simply about building more roads, it's about maximizing the performance of the transportation network already in place while expanding travel choices through transit, passenger rail and other mobility investments. As the region continues to grow, delivering these projects requires a more integrated approach than ever before.
That integrated approach reflects how infrastructure delivery has evolved over the past two decades and how HNTB's Madison office has evolved alongside it.
HNTB has worked with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the City of Madison, Amtrak and other public agencies to help deliver infrastructure solutions for the last 27 years. Over that time, our professionals have provided a full suite of infrastructure and mobility services that include planning, environmental services, engineering, construction management, rail and transit expertise, traffic analysis, strategic communications and public involvement.
As transportation programs grow in size and complexity, agencies are balancing multiple priorities while continuing to deliver for the communities they serve. Therefore, clients increasingly value collaborative partnerships with teams that can support projects from initial planning through final design and construction. That continuity helps preserve institutional knowledge and streamline delivery. Bringing consistency to the project pertaining to technical and operational factors ensures that community priorities remain aligned throughout the duration of a major transportation investment.
Our commitment to client service and collaboration has allowed us the opportunity to play a leading role in many of Wisconsin's most significant transportation initiatives, including the Madison Beltline Flex Lanes, the I-39/90/94 Corridor Study, Madison's East-West Bus Rapid Transit system, the Twin Cities–Milwaukee–Chicago passenger rail initiative, the Wisconsin River Bridges construction program, the Lone Rock Bridge Design-Build project, the Verona Road Corridor improvements and the ongoing US 18/151 corridor study between Verona and Dodgeville.
Connecting Communities Beyond Construction
Infrastructure success can be measured by how well projects connect with the communities they serve.
Effective stakeholder engagement and strategic communication have become essential elements of project delivery, helping agencies build trust, gather meaningful input and keep communities informed throughout the project lifecycle. HNTB has continued to invest in both the people and technology that support these efforts, helping clients engage stakeholders where they are and tailor outreach to each project's unique needs. Whether supporting public involvement for Madison's Bus Rapid Transit system or WisDOT's I-39/90 public engagement plan, our team works alongside clients to understand community priorities while helping minimize impacts during construction.
Investing in Madison’s Future
As HNTB’s capabilities have expanded, so has our commitment to Madison. The recent office relocation is directly adjacent to the state Capitol building and demonstrates the commitment to the clients and communities HNTB serves both locally and statewide. Helping Wisconsin communities continue to thrive, by listening to what stakeholders and clients value, is foundational to what our employees believe and live each day.
Join Us in Shaping What’s Next
As transportation investment continues across Wisconsin, we are actively growing our Madison team and looking for professionals who want to help deliver projects that will serve our community for decades to come.
