Companies Inc., a leader in engineering, environmental consulting
and construction-management services, has been chosen by the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to
provide key services in support of the agency's environmental
program.

square miles and features 16,000 bus stops and 93 rail stations. It
is one of the largest public transportation agencies in the
country.
TRC will work on specifically scoped task orders in support of
Metro's facility management and capital construction program. The
contract marks the 13th consecutive year TRC has supported Metro in
Southern California on complex
environmental infrastructure and transportation projects, including
capital construction, energy efficiency and highway design.

transportation infrastructure and provides enhanced mobility to the
