Research
At the core of every Toole Design project is a commitment to doing our homework. We love doing research—from detailed crash studies and project evaluations to best practice compilations—and developing groundbreaking tools that shape the future of transportation in communities across North America. Our experience encompasses innovative research for non-profit organizations, peer-reviewed papers for the Transportation Research Board, and practical studies for state and local governments using a data-driven approach to solve community transportation issues.
