Cambridge Systematics grew rapidly within its first few years and opened a second office in September 1976 in Berkeley, California, that moved to its current location in Oakland, California in 1994.

To meet expanding market and client needs, between 1991 and 2010 Cambridge Systematics opened additional offices in Washington, D.C.; Chicago, Illinois; Tallahassee, Florida; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; New York, New York; Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles, California; and Raleigh, North Carolina. Several Cambridge Systematics staff members also provide on-site client support at the offices of the Federal Highway Administration and the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center).
