WRA serves our transportation clients and engineering partners with environmental consulting services throughout California. Let our skilled and dedicated team of biologists and permitting specialists help you navigate the challenging regulatory setting in our beautiful state. We also serve Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado.

WRA provides a variety of environmental services for many types of infrastructure projects, including roadways, bridges, and other infrastructure in need of repair, replacement, and/or relocation due to age and natural disasters. These project types include bridge preventive maintenance, retrofit, and replacement; roadway paving, extension, stabilization, and redesign; culvert maintenance and replacements; commuter and heavy rail lines and grade separations; and pedestrian and bicycle path improvements, including trails, sidewalks, and safe routes to schools.

In addition to requirements subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), many “off-state highway” projects involve federal funding and thus additionally require National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance pursuant to Caltrans Local Assistance and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements for funding.
