Transportation Planning & Policy
Successfully planning transportation systems that meet public needs requires extensive collaboration and thoughtful preparation. Long-range planners look decades into the future to refine their vision. Our team provides detailed planning and analysis to guide decision-making and move projects forward.
Our strategic planners look beyond incremental change to focus on emerging trends and critical infrastructure needs that make the broadest impact on transportation. We help transportation agencies prepare for an uncertain future through professional facilitation and innovative scenario-planning tools. Our team can help you with a wide range of challenges, from determining your path toward vehicle electrification to identifying solutions that improve safety and mobility.
We have in-house specialists to examine and guide every stage of a project, from alignment studies and traffic modeling to capital improvement planning, economic analysis and funding studies.
Strategically Building Your Future
Our strategic consulting team helps you define and refine your vision, improve business practices, and create a culture where innovation thrives. We have specialists in change management, scenario planning, government relations, funding campaigns, integrated communications and branding. We help you develop the relationships you need to communicate economic benefits and grow grassroots support for your transportation projects, as well as secure the funding and community support that will be critical to your success.
Data collection and analysis are critical to many projects, especially in work designed to improve road safety and community mobility. Realistic and actionable solutions are based on a range of data and innovative analysis approaches that help us design and build with safer mobility in mind.
We have experience guiding transportation agencies through the challenges of emissions reduction and other large-scale industry transitions. We also collaborate with utilities, transit agencies and fleet operators on the path to electrification.
Engagement to Support Decisions
The voices and insights of invested and engaged parties must be used to shape supportable transportation project decisions. Through a combination of high-touch and high-tech engagement tools, our specialists lay a foundation for gathering and documenting critical feedback from interested parties across geographic and socioeconomic spectrums.
The careful collection and evaluation of such broad input can strengthen decisions about key transportation infrastructure initiatives. Using multiple paths and technologies — from visualizations and surveys to social media, branded websites and facilitated workshops — we help you coalesce what the range of interested parties have to say.
