VHB is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to join forces with Drive Engineering, a transportation engineering firm recognized for applying technology to improve mobility and traffic operations. The partnership, expected to close on January 19, 2026, will expand VHB’s reach and advance resources to support safer, more efficient transportation systems and deliver greater value for clients across the East Coast.
Founded in 2010, Drive Engineering has built a strong track record of combining technical precision with advanced tools to enhance safety, streamline traffic operations, and support more efficient transportation systems. Their collaborative approach and responsiveness have made them a trusted partner for public and private clients from planning through construction.
“This partnership reflects VHB’s commitment to shaping the future of mobility while growing our presence in key markets like Pennsylvania,” said Michael Carragher, President and CEO of VHB. “By combining Drive’s technology-informed approach with VHB’s integrated services, we can accelerate innovation and deliver smarter, more resilient transportation systems for communities across the East Coast.”
As part of the agreement, Drive co-founders Mario Toscano and Allie Slizofski will work closely with VHB leadership to advance next-generation solutions that improve how communities move.
“Joining VHB will be a tremendous opportunity for Drive and our clients,” said Mario. “We are excited to tap into VHB’s extensive resources and collaborative network while continuing the dependable, detail-oriented delivery our clients expect.”
“Our team is ready for this next chapter,” added Allie. “We’ve built strong relationships with our clients, and by partnering with VHB, we can offer expanded services, deliver more tailored solutions, and provide even greater value to our clients and the communities we serve.”
Through this partnership, VHB will both expand into Pennsylvania and strengthen its capabilities in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic operations, and data-informed mobility planning. By combining talent and resources, the teams will be well-positioned to address complex challenges such as congestion management, safety improvements, and system reliability—while also supporting clients in adapting to evolving technologies and future transportation demands.
