Who We Are
IronStride Solutions is a Colorado-based engineering firm specializing in traffic operations and the implementation of technology in transportation projects.
Our key staff have served in lead roles on many of the major transportation projects in Colorado for traffic engineering, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology, and construction management. IronStride provides critical insight into the planning process and design considerations for technology-based transportation applications based on our extensive experience with the systems engineering process, interagency agreements, operations, and maintenance of these unique project elements.

This project upgraded the traffic signals at three intersections along US 6/North Avenue in Grand Junction.
CO 115 Improvements
Colorado Springs-Penrose, Colorado, CDOT
IronStride led stakeholder coordination workshops for the SH 115 corridor and developed a conceptual design for 25 miles of fiber optic infrastructure to close the gap between I-25 near Colorado Springs and the Penrose maintenance facility near US 50, as well as to bring ITS devices and traffic signals within the project limits onto the fiber network.
Undergrounding Master Plan
Littleton, Colorado, City of Littleton
The City of Littleton is working toward utilizing its Xcel 1% Fund to improve safety and resiliency within the City by undergrounding utilities, beginning with downtown Littleton.
Chain Station Upgrades
State of Colorado, CDOT
IronStride led this project that aimed to standardize the static signage and technology across chain stations located on I-70 and I-25 to create consistency for travelers and help to streamline operations and maintenance efforts.
CDOT DTR Program Management
