Transportation: Railway/Transit

Aldridge's transit work accounts for 50% of the company's annual revenue with recently completed projects totaling over $550M for various transit authorities. The Aldridge transit management team (Superintendent and above) collectively has over 200 years experience on the tracks, and includes all types of railway systems including light rail, contact rail and catenary systems.
