What DDEC does

DDEC, LLC is a Florida-based traffic and transportation engineering, planning, and design firm founded in 2019 by Uyen Dang, PE. The firm is organized around three offices in Tamarac (HQ), Delray Beach, and North Miami, covering Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties. DDEC holds FDOT prequalification in Work Groups 3, 6, 7, and 13, and is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise and Small Business Enterprise.

The firm's service portfolio spans six core lines (Streets & Infrastructure, Safety & Mobility, Planning & Strategy, Rapid & Visual Solutions, GIS/Data Visualization, and Public Engagement) plus four specialized practices (Vision Zero, Grant Services, Mobility, and Rail Safety & Quiet Zones). Core technical capabilities include multimodal transportation planning, Complete Streets design, Vision Zero Safe Systems methodology, GIS-based crash and equity mapping, interactive dashboards, and bilingual/multilingual public engagement. The firm also operates FloridaBicycleMonth.com, a branded resource sub-platform for municipalities. Project delivery spans corridor redesigns, SS4A grant applications, mobility fee studies, transportation demand management programs, and public-facing workshops.

DDEC generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements sold directly to city traffic engineers, planning directors, and municipal procurement departments. The primary customer segment is Florida local governments (cities, towns, villages), with secondary segments in metropolitan planning organizations (Palm Beach TPA, Broward MPO), state transportation agencies (FDOT), and county governments (Palm Beach County). The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct engagement, public workshops, industry conferences (APA Florida, NCUTCD, Tomorrow.City USA), and founder-led thought leadership. The firm claims more than $80M in federal and state transportation funding secured for client communities. DDEC is a privately held, founder-owned LLC with approximately 20 team members listed, no institutional investment, and no disclosed revenue figures.
