Experts in Traffic Safety.
Rooted in New York.
Sam Schwartz Field Operations was founded on a simple belief: that every person navigating a busy street, construction zone, or crowded event ndeserves to get where they're going safely.
Built Through Years of Real-World Operating Experience
Sam Schwartz Field Operations traces its roots to 2009, when pedestrian traffic management was developed as a specialized practice within Sam Schwartz Engineering. In 2014, the operation became a standalone company focused exclusively on pedestrian safety, traffic management and complex field operations.
Today, Sam Schwartz Field Operations supports airports, construction sites, venues, major events and commercial properties throughout New York with more than 300 trained personnel and an experienced field-management team.
