Just over a year has passed since Hurricane Maria carved a deadly swathe of destruction through the small island of Puerto Rico. The category 5 hurricane caused massive flooding, food shortages, telecommunications challenges and left millions without electricity. Infrastructure and property damages were estimated at $90 billion which, at the time, was still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Irma just two weeks prior.

“Design with Confidence” is Transoft’s signature statement, and we take it very seriously. All our software is built with the purpose of the designer or architect being able to check their designs thoroughly prior to the project being built. It’s another way of saying “measure twice cut once”. When planning software isn’t used or it […]
“Life is a Highway” by Tom Cochrane is the song that comes to mind from recent news out of California. The west coast state has always been at the forefront of “green” transportation initiatives, leading the US in emissions-control standards, for example. Now California is the first state to “electrify” a section of highway between […]
A new study released by Minnesota Department of Transportation shows what engineers and designers at Transoft have known for years: that roundabouts increase road safety. The study quoted by radio station KROC AM 1340 looked at 200 roundabouts in the state and found there was not a single multi-vehicle fatality. In fact, there was an […]
