Adam Freeland, Founder
Adam Freeland launched his career in Temporary Traffic Control in 2011 after studying at the Colorado School of Mines, quickly specializing in Traffic Control Plan drafting. He spent a decade honing his expertise across industry leaders—including Statewide Safety (now AWP), Bay Area Traffic Solutions (now Cityrise), and Traffic Management Inc. (TMI)—before founding TCPAF Inc. in 2021 to provide plan drafting and permit expediting in California.
Recognizing a desperate need to eliminate middleman bloat and streamline the ordering process for stalled projects, Adam partnered with Professional Engineer (PE) Casey McEndree in 2024 to launch 123TCP. Today, 123TCP serves as the premier direct marketplace connecting contractors, utility crews, and project managers directly with qualified, independent drafters and engineers to get compliant plans approved fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 123TCP, and how are you different from traditional traffic control companies?
Most traditional traffic firms offer traffic plans only to compliment other and often unwanted services, like field labor/flaggers and equipment rental. This limits their drafting expertise to the target markets for their other services
123TCP is a direct-to-drafter marketplace. We connect you directly to the skilled professional Drafters and Engineers best suited to your specific project. Our focus gives you High-Quality plans, in a timely manner to help satisfy agency encroachment requirements without the overhead or geographic limitations associated with a contracting or rental firm
Why is the city requiring me to have a Traffic Control Plan (TCP)?
If your project involves an encroaching into the public Right of Way (ROW) (occupying space the public normally has access to), such as underground digging, sewer tie-ins, crane operations, or commercial tree trimming—municipal governments and safety officers almost always require an approved TCP as part of issuing an Encroachment Permit before you can work in the public ROW.
We know that suddenly needing a plan feels like an frustrating administrative hurdle when you just want to get to work. Our mission is to take that compliance burden off your plate in the most streamlined way possible so you can focus on the job site.
My project is already stalled and behind schedule. How fast can I get my plan?
We understand that by the time a city inspector or permitting office asks you for a TCP, the clock is ticking and your project may already be delayed.
In this situation, we highly recommend requesting an expedited plan. This has upfront cost to skip the 24 hour closed bidding window, allowing and incentivizing drafters to send bids direct as soon as submitted,
Because our platform cuts out the traditional contracting overhead, drafting can begin rapidly. Depending on the situation, deliver can happen as soon as next day. Be sure to select "Expedited" when finalizing your bid request.
Do you also sell physical signs, barricades, or provide flaggers?
No. 123TCP strictly specializes in professional plan drafting. We will never try to sell you physical traffic control equipment, rental gear, or on-site staffing.
By dedicating 100% of our resources to drafting and connecting you directly to the experts making the drawings, we ensure your plans are turned around faster and more affordably than they would be through a full-service contracting firm.
What information do I need to provide to start a project?
We keep the submission process straightforward and frictionless so you don't waste valuable time. To get your plan started, you generally only need:
The specific work address or project location.
A basic description of your scope of work (e.g., where trenches, equipment, or service vehicles will be positioned).
Confirmation of the area needed for work (we ask you to draw the specific closure area needed on a satellite image)
If you have those basic details ready, you can initiate your request in just a few minutes. Click [Get Plans] to connect with a drafter today.
