DODGER STADIUM
When the Los Angeles Dodgers announced its intention to renovate and improve the entire stadium complex, Gibson Transportation Consulting joined the Project design team to help develop a phased multi-modal transportation improvement plan that would meet both the aesthetic and operational needs of the facility. On-site parking, vehicular, pedestrian, and transit access and circulation improvements were designed as part of this effort.

We reviewed and commented on the land use and site plan and tested the development to determine the appropriate size of the development in terms of trip generation and impacts in order to help refine the project description. Gibson Transportation Consulting prepared the traffic impact analysis, including analysis of 108 study intersections and numerous Caltrans facilities, for inclusion in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.
UNION STATION
Gibson Transportation Consulting served as a member of a study team to develop an expansion plan for Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. As the hub of the rail system in Los Angeles, Union Station is nearing its capacity to serve additional passengers. Rail service in Southern California continues to grow and Union Station must change to accommodate that growth. New service and additional tracks to/from the facility require new bridges over the US 101 freeway to the south and upgraded bridges to the north. The interior of the facility also has to be extensively remodeled to increase its ability to handle more passengers. Gibson Transportation Consulting studied construction impacts as part of the environmental impact report process.
LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (LACMA)
Gibson Transportation Consulting prepared traffic, parking, and circulation studies for the LACMA Building for the Permanent Collection Project in Hancock Park and the Miracle Mile community of the City of Los Angeles, California.

PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY
Gibson Transportation Consulting has completed a number of studies for Pepperdine University at its main and satellite campuses. We conducted a full parking inventory and occupancy study of the main campus to document the supply and to measure the parking usage pattern throughout the day. We also observed Pepperdine’s graduation ceremonies, where campus traffic and parking capacities are stretched to the limits, and made immediate action, short-range, and long-range recommendations for handling the crowds. Shuttle bus routes, guide signs, pedestrian improvements, and traffic control strategies were all implemented to ease the flow of traffic and enhance the visitor experience. Gibson Transportation Consulting also conducted traffic and parking studies for a new satellite campus in Calabasas.
