What CA Group does

CA Group, Inc. is a privately held, employee-owned transportation engineering consulting firm founded in 2008 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with additional offices in Reno, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona. The firm provides eight interconnected professional services — corridor studies, environmental services, highway design, transit system planning and design, route optimization, alternative project delivery, construction management, and public outreach — to government transportation agencies across Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Named clients include the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), the Regional Transportation Commissions of Washoe County and Southern Nevada, and municipalities including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Sparks, as well as counties and the Las Vegas Monorail Company.

The firm's technical foundation rests on established transportation engineering and traffic simulation software, including TransCAD, Synchro, Vissim, and Aimsun for traffic modeling, paired with the Trimble Quantm Alignment System for corridor and alignment optimization. CA Group describes itself as a leader in the use of Quantm, with its engineers and planners having applied the system to alignments representing over $12.7 billion in construction value. Service quality has been externally validated through the APWA 2019 National Project of the Year award (transportation projects over $75 million) for the I-11 Boulder City Bypass Phase 2.

CA Group operates as a project-based professional services firm, earning fee-for-service revenue under contracts with state DOTs, regional transportation commissions, cities, and counties. Sales are relationship-led, executed through formal competitive bidding, RFQs, design-build procurements, and ongoing engagements with public-sector clients. Marketing is conducted through the firm's website, LinkedIn presence, and direct relationship-building, with co-founders Jim Caviola, PE, PTOE and Chad Anson, PE continuing to anchor the firm's technical reputation in Nevada.
