The Future of Project Delivery: Automation, Analytics and Digital Transformation 

Digital transformation is redefining how infrastructure projects are delivered: from the way teams plan and collaborate to how decisions are made in real-time. What was once a support function has evolved into a core driver of project performance, automation and transparency – and at STV, an essential part of project delivery.   According to an FMI/Autodesk report, more than 80% respondents reported an increase in the project … Read more

Shaping the Future of Managed Lanes

Traffic congestion, climate pressures and shifting travel behaviors are pushing transportation agencies across the country to rethink how they manage mobility. One strategy that has emerged as a viable option is managed express lanes. Once considered a novel approach to congestion management, managed lanes now dominate the modern tolling landscape. A majority of new tolling … Read more

Reevaluating Barrier Safety for the Electric Vehicle Era 

As electric vehicles (EVs) grow in adoption and model diversity, transportation agencies are rethinking the standards that keep drivers safe. In the United States alone, electric vehicle sales increased to 1.6 million in 2024. With heavier frames and lower centers of gravity, EVs exhibit distinct collision dynamics compared to traditional vehicles, creating new challenges for … Read more

Connecting Data, People and Policy for Sustainable Mobility

The rapid rise of electrification transitions, as well as shifting market expectations, are transforming how people and goods move, and how agencies plan and operate infrastructure – meaning that global transportation networks are at an inflection point.   Adjusting to this new landscape requires data-driven decision-making, integrated system design and strong cross-sector collaboration to deliver networks … Read more

Modern Mentoring: Building Bridges Across Generations

In today’s fast-evolving construction industry, mentorship is no longer just a top-down exchange of knowledge. It’s a dynamic, two-way relationship that bridges experience and innovation – where learning flows in both directions. This modern approach to mentoring was recently captured by several members of STV’s team at the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) 2025 … Read more

Fueling the Future: What Transit Leaders Need to Know About Hydrogen

As transit agencies accelerate their push toward zero-emission fleets, one technology is quietly gaining momentum – hydrogen fuel cell buses (FCEBs). While battery-electric buses (BEBs) are still the dominant zero-emission bus type in the United States, the number of FCEBs that were delivered or in operation has increased by 55 percent since 2023. And that … Read more

Unlocking Resilience Finance: Rethinking How We Fund Climate-Ready Infrastructure 

Across the country, communities are examining the compound risks of aging infrastructure and constrained public budgets. With an estimated investment gap of $2.9 trillion for the United States between 2024 and 2033, the greatest barrier to building resilience against climate and environmental shocks isn’t engineering capacity – it’s financing. That’s why, as infrastructure owners and experts bridge the gap between resilience goals and funding realities, a shift is underway toward risk-informed investment strategies that quantify resilience as measurable … Read more
