Rail & Transit

Shaping the future of rail & transit.

Rail and transit play a critical role in our transportation network, connecting communities and enabling people and businesses to thrive. However, in our fast-changing world, what makes sense today may not make sense tomorrow, and focusing limited funds on investments that maximize value is a significant challenge. Steer helps clients tackle these complex challenges – understanding how different groups of people interact with our existing transportation networks, and how we can align future policy decisions, operational plans, and capital investments to the benefit of our communities.  

From high-speed and intercity passenger rail, to metro, light rail, and bus systems, Steer is committed to supporting our clients in achieving their goals. We combine deep industry knowledge with a multidisciplinary approach, delivering clear, data-driven insights that help clients make confident, informed decisions. We are trusted by both public and private sector entities – federal, state, and local transportation authorities, operators, regulatory agencies, financial institutions and developers – to plan, support funding for, and optimize operations of transportation networks around the world. With a proven global track record, we deliver powerful solutions that maximize the value from investments and deliver long-term sustainable benefits.
