The Foundation lends their health policy and civic engagement expertise to the City’s PLACE Initiative. This is a general list of vehicles and supporting infrastructure in public rights-of-way. Alta has helped dozens of communities advance and build non-motorized barrier crossings by providing a unique blend of services that spans all project phases. Alta offers a unique blend of skills to produce effective and high-quality streetscape solutions, from concept to implementation.
Mobility hubs can also be a first, low cost phase for testing mobility options and iterative placemaking and investment. Good intersection design has progressed rapidly in recent years with features that make them safer and more comfortable for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Founded in 1996, Alta pioneered the field of active transportation, evolving their planning and design work into a visionary global practice that focuses on climate change mitigation, traffic safety, and the future of human-powered mobility. By utilizing health analyses, healthy community design and evidence-based health strategies can be integrated into community planning, transportation, and land use decision-making processes. In conjunction, equity analyses help understand where concentrations of historically vulnerable populations exist, populations that may rely more on walking, bicycling, and transit to complete most of their trips.

We’re thrilled to announce that Alta will be attending the 2024 NACTO Designing Cities Conference in Miami-Dade May 7-10 in Miami, FL! As a leading advocate for sustainable urban development and innovative design solutions, we’re eager to join forces with fellow professionals, policymakers, and visionaries to explore the latest trends and challenges in urban planning and design. This conference presents a prime opportunity to exchange ideas, showcase expertise, and contribute to shaping the future of cities worldwide.
Alta combines guidance found in more traditional resources with local standards and academic researchs to create a single visually-rich document that can be used to lead the design of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Amigos de los Rios is a grassroots organization known for its work in designing sustainable open spaces and enhancing community life. They assist with the initiative by providing input on the physical project and promoting initiative related activities to community members. With an intention to be climate positive, the team used environmentally resilient materials and green infrastructure throughout the design. Growth allows Alta’s employees to achieve new career opportunities they never would have had before, while the firm is able to deliver more sustainable projects than ever before. Trilon is looking forward to continuing to scale Alta’s impact, mission and vision even further by investing in the business’s continued growth, in the same way it scales the impact of all partner firms.
A short-term and long-term vision for gaining the best of what new mobility and transportation technology have to offer can drive policy change and spur innovation and real-world applications for the benefit of everyone in the state. In the California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, Alta focused on social equity, and laid out possible performance measures for investing resources in communities that are most dependent on active transportation and transit. El Monte’s vision is to “foster policy change that supports the development of healthy, active environments for all community residents. Facilitated by Alta, this practical training combines the power of time (signals) and space (geometric solutions) for tricky bikeway intersections. Learn how to get people on bikes and micromobility devices safely through an intersection using innovative best practices and easy-to-implement standards-based alternatives.
El Monte School District has been bestowed the Bronze Award from the Healthy Schools Program for leading the fight against childhood obesity and inactivity. The El Monte City School District’s contribution to the initiative is to promote the initiative to students and parents, provide social marketing strategies, and help identify location(s) and amenities for the physical project. There was tremendous demand for Alta’s important work, but the company’s employees were stretched thin and unable to take on all the projects they wanted to.
In planning for the Great Springs Trail in central Texas, Alta developed an Economic Benefits Report to quantify the financial return from the 100+-mile trail network and 50,000 conserved acres of land in the corridor. These findings include the estimate that these conservation efforts not only might protect water quality, water supply and wildlife habitat but might also preserve working lands while protecting people and property from flood damage. Additionally, the findings indicate that the trail could replace 12.9 million motor vehicle miles each year with bicycle and pedestrian trips. Moving forward, Alta’s staff will continue to work in their respective roles with a continued focus on providing excellent service to its clients.
This integrated design approach provides a seamless transition from plan to implementation, turning community visions into reality. Trilon Group was formed with a vision to build the next Top 20 infrastructure services firm in North America by bringing together some of the nation’s best infrastructure consulting firms. Key focus areas include Transportation, Water, Utilities, Environment and Community Infrastructure.
