As an industry leader, we can offer strong expertise in all aspects of transportation to our private sector clients. And as one of largest continuous providers of Federal transportation research and policy support, we can offer private clients the value of vision, and the power of understanding government policies, and how to work with them. We work with the railroad industry, trucking industry, airlines, financial services and banking clients, and private developers.

We have worked with airports, development authorities, and other transportation agencies across the country.
• Financial Services Industry — Cambridge Systematics works with many financial services institutions to negotiate public infrastructure financing, create public/private partnerships, and perform industry market research on financial services products and services.
