Public Works & Transportation Infrastructure

We invest in the businesses essential to public health, safety, and the daily functioning of transportation and civic infrastructure systems. Companies that operate behind the scenes—supporting roadways, fleets, logistics, and compliance-critical infrastructure that keeps local economies in motion.
Across the country, the public works and transportation infrastructure sector is undergoing a generational transformation. Driven by historic levels of state and federal investment, there is an urgent and growing demand for dependable, compliance-driven service providers. From road safety and site security to geotechnical testing and environmental remediation, thousands of small, often family-owned businesses are quietly powering the systems that keep cities, communities, and commerce in motion.
At Legacy, we focus on businesses essential to public health, safety, and the daily functioning of transportation and civic infrastructure systems. These companies don’t chase headlines—they repaint the lines, maintain the fleets, and keep job sites secure. They support the movement of people and goods, ensure infrastructure meets safety standards, and help governments and contractors meet the demands of growing populations and aging assets. Their work is vital, defensible, and built to last.
We’re building a portfolio of essential service businesses that operate behind the scenes but make everything else possible. These companies are often embedded in local supply chains, backed by recurring contracts, and primed for modernization. Whether it’s traffic control, soil compliance, or logistics support, we’re here to help these operators scale sustainably, professionalize operations, and capture their share of a growing, infrastructure-led economy.

“When states invest in infrastructure, it’s small contractors who carry it out. These businesses are deeply embedded in their communities and know how to get the job done right, fast, and reliably.”

“Over 90% of highway and street construction firms in the U.S. are small businesses. They’re the ones resurfacing roads, inspecting bridges, and making our infrastructure safe—block by block.”
