Transportation affects people in one way or another and that includes highways, roadways, bridges, traffic signals, intersections, parking, pedestrian routes and bicycle paths. These transportation issues are sometimes troublesome for people. However, they are routine issues for the Transportation Engineering Group at BL Companies. That’s because transportation is about more than getting from place to place. At BL Companies, our transportation engineers work in collaboration with our clients to address their requirements, visions, schedule and budget.

“Carlton Cole Magee invented the first parking meter in 1932 in response to the growing problem of parking congestion. The first meter was installed in 1935 in Oklahoma City. Magee’s solution was to install parking meters and charge for the use of the spaces. The meters would generate revenue for a growing city.”
