Experience with the City of Diamond Bar
Fehr & Peers assisted the City of Diamond Bar by providing peer review for the SR-57/60 Confluence
Project back in 2006, and we have continued to work closely with City staff for the past 20 years. We
developed a citywide traffic simulation model that covers all freeway facilities and major arterials within
the City Limit and conducted a comprehensive assessment of the potential improvement alternatives
for the SR-57/60 Confluence as well as city streets. We collaborated with City staff to identify additional
improvement strategies such as project phasing/prioritization, local streets improvements, and missing
connector to resolve regional traffic impact on City streets, which was then included in the SR-57/60
Confluence Project and the SCAG’s Supplemental Study.
Fehr & Peers assisted Diamond Bar in developing the bi-annual City Mobility Report Card to evaluate
effectiveness of signal timing improvements. Using big data, we supported the City in monitoring
congestion impacts from construction activities. In addition, we worked closely with City staff in
developing and implementing the Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) and the Neighborhood Traffic
Management Program (NTMP). We also coordinated with the City’s Planning Department and prepared the
Circulation Element for the City’s General Plan Update. In addition, we have assisted the City in providing
peer review on numerous traffic studies and design plans.

D. Approach & Methodology
Traffic
Engineering/
Studies
CEQA/NEPA/Transportation Studies
We have over 40 years of experience in preparing
general plans and transportation planning studies
across California, including studies in support of
the project approval/environmental documents
for Caltrans projects. In addition, we provide peer
review services for traffic studies for Caltrans
projects on behalf of other local agencies and have
provided peer review services for Diamond Bar
since 2006, including support for the SR-57/60
Confluence Project.
Our focus will be providing sound transportation
system planning; a detailed understanding of the
City’s traffic circulation needs; building consensus
between various stakeholders; and ensuring that
the technical documents meet CEQA and NEPA
requirements and can easily be understood by
decision makers, grant reviewers, and the public.
Since the adoption of Senate Bill 743 (SB 743), Fehr
& Peers has been at the forefront of supporting
cities throughout California in development,
adoption, and application of VMT metrics and
thresholds. We are currently assisting a multitude
of cities, counties, and MPOs, both large and
small, to ensure land use and transportation
projects are compliant with adopted policies
and guidelines. We will assist Diamond Bar in
reviewing transportation studies for development
and transportation projects to meet California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and SB 743
requirements.
Traffic Operations/Traffic Control Evaluation
Fehr & Peers is a nationally recognized leader in
traffic operations and simulation. We use traffic
operations/simulation services to investigate
and evaluate the impacts of modifications to the
transportation network, such as road geometry,
traffic control, and traffic signal operations. These
analyses can assess potential impacts without
disrupting traffic operations, implementing costly
measures, or causing unnecessary change for
motorists before a design is finalized. We use
Synchro, SimTraffic, VISSIM, and TransModeler
to analyze existing and future conditions for
comparisons. The results of our work form the
basis for conclusions and recommendations to
solve a range of transportation problems in areas
such as freeway and arterial systems, traffic signal
operations, intelligent transportation systems, and
interface between autos and other travel modes
(e.g., light rail, bus, rapid transit, heavy vehicles,
cycling, and walking).
We are very familiar with the Intersection Safety
and Operational Assessment Process (ISOAP)
required by Caltrans and have prepared multiple
ISOAP documents for various local agencies via
a data-driven, performance-based framework
incorporating the Safe System Approach to
screen intersection strategies and identify optimal
solutions for new or improved intersections,
typically at the ramp intersections.
Speed Studies/Safety Assessments
Fehr & Peers partnered with ITE, the Vision Zero
Network, and Leidos to work with the Federal
Highway Administration Office of Safety to
develop educational materials (a brochure, a
training course, and a video) launching FHWA’s
Safe System approach. The team also authored
the national guidance document on how to pivot
Strategic Highway Safety Plans and Highway Safety
Improvement Programs to be consistent with the
Safe System approach.
City of Diamond Bar 11
We have extensive experience in supporting
jurisdictions throughout California as they develop
and implement Local Roadway Safety Plans, SS4A
funded Vision Zero Safety Action Plans, Safe
Routes to School Plans, Active Transportation
Plans, and HSIP projects. Most recently, we have
been pioneering work related to the systemic
approach to safety through Caltrans’ Systemic
Safety Analysis Report Program. We created the
award-winning Pedestrian Safety Assessment
program now in use throughout California and
teach multi-modal safety and complete streets
courses at the regional, state and national level,
including most recently for Caltrans and FHWA.
Fehr & Peers is currently working with FHWA,
advising the agency on how best to integrate Safe
System principles into their existing programs,
such as Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSP),
the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP),
and Local Roadway Safety Plans (LRSP). We
will leverage our insight and expertise in safety
principles to assist the City of Diamond Bar in
safety-related assessments.
We have developed internal tooling for data-
driven safety analysis to support jurisdictions
in leveraging safety-oriented legislation such
as AB 43 and applying context specific speed
management strategies to better align speed-
setting practices with goals to improve safety.
Grant Application Support
To date, Fehr & Peers has successfully helped
agencies and their stakeholders with nearly 100
grant funding pursuits, totaling awards of over
$450 million. Our experience has ranged from
conducting needed analyses—feasibility studies,
ridership forecasts, cost benefit analysis, or VMT
reduction estimates—all the way to preparing
the entire grant application. With our in-depth
knowledge and experience in areas such as traffic
safety, transit ridership forecasting, transportation
performance measures, active transportation/
complete streets, infrastructure planning,
transportation impact analysis, and goods
movement, we are uniquely qualified to assist with
numerous types of funding programs.
We will provide the City with a unique blend of
funding expertise that leads to successful pursuits
of grant funding for projects that we plan and
design for the communities we serve. We have
in-depth knowledge in writing successful grant
applications, as well as complying with Caltrans
Local Assistance requirements, processing Metro
funding agreements, and complying with audit
requirements. Our in-depth technical expertise,
along with extensive experience with various
local, County, SCAG, Caltrans, and Federal grants,
contributed to successful grant applications for our
clients to improve the communities we serve.
Design/PS&E/
Plan Checking
Engineering PS&E
Fehr & Peers’ engineering design group is
committed to delivering construction PS&E
packages that are biddable, buildable, and
responsive to the City’s operational goals. Our
approach integrates traffic operations, engineering
design, and project delivery experience so that
PS&E packages are technically sound and practical
to construct and administer. We prepare complete,
well-coordinated deliverables that reflect the
needs of all travel modes and comply with
applicable City, County, and State standards such
as the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (CA-MUTCD), Public Works “Green
Book,” Caltrans Standard Plans and Specifications,
and other guidance relevant to Safety, Complete
Streets, and Engineering best practices.
Each deliverable is subjected to a rigorous internal
QA/QC process so that the City receives clear,
coordinated, and construction-ready documents
to streamline bidding and construction. This
approach is supported by staff experience in
designing traffic signals, signing and striping,
temporary traffic control, lighting, and multimodal
corridor improvements projects.
Plan Check
For plan checking and document review, Fehr
& Peers will serve as an extension of City staff,
providing prompt, practical, and technical
comments on proposed PS&E packages. Our
team understands that timely review is critical
to maintaining project schedules. We focus our
reviews on conformance with applicable standards,
constructability, operational performance, and
potential implementation issues so that comments
Professional On-Call Traffic and Transportation Engineering Services12
incorporate sound engineering judgment specific
to the project’s context and are actionable to help
move projects efficiently towards approval. Our
on-call experience includes plan review for traffic
signals, signing and striping, temporary traffic
control, pedestrian and bicycle improvements,
traffic calming, and other traffic engineering design
projects.
Transportation
Planning/
Coordination
Congestion Management Program (CMP)
Fehr & Peers is an expert in CMP compliance
and has assisted multiple regional and local
agencies in preparing CMPs. We understand the
City’s potential need to update LOS at the CMP
locations on a regular basis to meet compliance
requirements. We have previously worked with
the City to conduct the Citywide traffic data
collection and prepared the CMP compliance letter
during our past on-call contract. We will continue
assisting the City in this role. As part of this
process, we will also provide recommendations to
address any deficiency or noncompliance at the
CMP location if needed.
Transportation System Planning
Fehr & Peers has been a recognized leader
in innovative transportation planning with an
emphasis on integrating land use decisions with
transportation investments. Because Diamond
Bar is surrounded by two major regional freeways,
SR-57 and SR-60, transportation system planning
requires close coordination with Caltrans, Metro,
and adjacent cities, and is important for meeting
the City’s mobility goals. Since 2006, we have
assisted Diamond Bar on a variety of tasks related
to the SR-57/60 Confluence Project, including peer
review of traffic studies/environmental documents/
design plans, preparation of studies and plans for
improvement strategies, coordination with Metro/
Caltrans/other stakeholders, and more. We will
continue working closely with City staff in a similar
role for the SR-57/60 Confluence Project.
We have extensive experience working with
Caltrans, from delivering planning/design projects
to providing best practice training to Caltrans staff.
We have delivered over 150 highway planning and
design projects throughout the State of California
during the phases of Project Study Report –
Project Development Support (PSR-PDS), Project
Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED), and
Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E). We
are also often asked to provide peer review of
transportation impact studies for highway corridor
and interchange projects and their compliance
with CEQA/NEPA on behalf of local agencies.
We have a long history of working with Caltrans
District 7 (D7) and have successfully delivered
various highway planning PSR/PA/ED/PSEs in Los
Angeles County. In addition to project delivery,
we have assisted Caltrans in developing the best
practice training in travel demand modeling and
traffic operations analysis as well as a how-to guide
for Caltrans Local Development-Intergovernmental
Review (LD-IGR) that addresses the changes
to transportation impact analysis under SB 743,
including potential transportation safety impacts.
Our extensive experience working with Caltrans
will help the City to facilitate the transportation
projects to go through the approval and
implementation process.
Statewide Planning Efforts
California’s legislative requirements and statewide
planning efforts shift frequently. We pride
ourselves on staying up to date on the latest
industry trends and quickly adapting to prepare
specialized studies. Recently, statewide legislation
Assembly Bill 98 mandated that truck routes be
included in all General Plans. We have quickly
leveraged our existing national experience in
freight planning, truck routing, and truck parking
to assist our local clients in Southern California in
integrating the new requirements into their General
Plans.
City of Diamond Bar 13
Capital Improvement Program Support
Fehr & Peers is committed to developing effective

philosophy is collaborating with our clients to
create customized solutions. Fehr & Peers will
assist the City with implementing their Capital
Improvement projects by providing a project
peer review and conducting supplemental traffic
analysis to support and inform the project decision
making process. We endeavor to minimize the
impact of new and re-development projects on
the environment and traffic safety through smart
transportation and urban design in the active
transportation context.
Traffic Management Systems/Signal Operations
Fehr & Peers can provide traffic signal operational
and management support by combining signal
operations, construction PS&E, and electrical
design expertise. Building on our prior work for
Diamond Bar, which included preparation of
construction PS&E for the City’s Adaptive Traffic
Control System (ATCS), in collaboration with
City staff and Siemens, and a before study of the
ATCS corridors, we can support ongoing system
monitoring, after studies, and operational updates
to improve corridor performance.
Our team has prepared signal timing plans for
coordinated traffic signal corridors for cities across
California. We bring strong traffic operations
analysis and simulation experience, including
work we did developing models specifically for
Diamond Bar. These models have been used for
operational evaluations of the City’s transportation
network, quantifying the benefits of different
options for traffic control and signal timing.
This kind of analysis helps identify hot spots for
potential improvements, and supports efforts with
Caltrans and neighboring cities to achieve signal
coordination goals for corridors across multiple
jurisdictions.
Meetings/Other
Services
We offer our clients a diverse combination of
leading-edge traffic engineering skills, experience,
and extensive knowledge of the communities in
which we work to deliver comprehensive solutions
and superior client service. Fehr & Peers provides

CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS ON-CALL
JULY 2025 - ONGOING
Fehr & Peers serves the City of Beverly Hills with
an on-call contract for traffic engineering services.
Our effort includes an array of transportation
planning and design tasks including signing and
striping design plans, traffic signal modifications,
traffic calming, pedestrian crossing improvements,
temporary traffic control, multi-modal circulation,
and other implementation projects. Two recent
traffic signal design projects that Fehr & Peers has
completed on this contract are: Olympic Boulevard/
Beverly Drive/Beverwil Drive, and Clifton Avenue
at Crescent Way. The Olympic Boulevard signal
modification included a complicated double
intersection with many phasing, overlap, and
equipment challenges. We prepared the design and
supported the City all the way through construction
to ensure a successful turn on and implementation.
Clifton Avenue at Crescent Way is a brand-new
traffic signal and is associated with the Metro
construction project and the closure of Canon Drive
at Wilshire.
Additional recent task orders have involved the
conversion of Dayton Way from a one-way street
to a two-way street to facilitate access to a City-
owned parking structure between Crescent Drive
and Canon Drive. Fehr & Peers prepared a concept
design and assessed impacts to the on-street
parking, signing and striping, and adjacent signals.
Our staff presented a detailed review of our findings
to the Traffic & Parking Commission, and ultimately
the City Council, to support the decision-making
process. We are currently completing the design
plans, and will be providing design support during
construction as well.
