Since our inception in 1985, Fehr & Peers has developed a strong reputation as a leader in the preparation of innovative transportation plans with an emphasis on integrating land use decisions with transportation investments. We believe that the most effective transportation plans are those where transportation improvements provide desired operating conditions while also facilitating the location, pattern, and design of land use development. We have successfully employed this philosophy in developing transportation plans and impact assessments for literally thousands of clients throughout the United States and abroad.
Unlike other firms, we internally finance our own leading-edge research on key topics related to land use and transportation integration to give our clients the best possible information and recommendations. Much of this research centers around quantifying the effects of various built environment factors (i.e., the “Ds”) on trip generation and mode choice. We have published numerous papers on our research and we are often engaged by agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of California to put our work into practice via the development of improved analysis methods and policy guidance.
