40 years of moving communities forward.

Transportation should be more than just functional.

It should enhance quality of life, enable new opportunities, restore broken connections, and contribute to vibrant, active, and healthy communities. For over 40 years, this shared set of values has fueled our growth into a nationwide consulting firm focusing exclusively on transportation planning and engineering. As experts in multimodal planning and design, we don’t just follow trends—we influence how transportation evolves. Our agile approach has earned national recognition for setting new industry standards, best practices, and benchmarks for leveraging emerging technologies.

Improving communities is at the heart of everything we do.

Whether we’re helping clients secure funding for transformative projects or supporting local philanthropic initiatives, we’re dedicated to making a lasting and positive impact.

Through long-standing community relationships and ongoing investments in research and development, we continue to influence the future of transportation while mentoring the next generation of industry leaders.

As an employee-owned company, we offer our internal teams and external clients nuanced perspectives that help uncover the best solutions. Many of our first clients still trust us with their transportation needs after decades of working together—a testament to the strong partnerships we build and the innovative, inclusive approach we bring to every project.

Why We Do Things Differently

Juergen Fehr and Jack Peers founded Fehr & Peers in 1985.

They set out to create a company that empowered employees to take ownership of their work and to use creativity and innovation to solve new transportation challenges.

Frustrated by the bureaucracy often found in large firms, they built Fehr & Peers on the principles of autonomy and accountability—believing those closest to the challenges should have the freedom to make decisions and take risks. Today, those principles remain at the heart of how we operate.

We trust each person to own their career while staying accountable to clients and each other for our shared success.

Our mission is to empower every employee to develop effective and innovative transportation solutions that improve communities. We ensure that every decision supports this mission by encouraging creativity, accountability, and collaboration.

The core values that Juergen, Jack, and their early partner Jerry Walters established continue to guide how we approach every project. They also shape our vision to transform transportation consulting as the most trusted partner in the communities we serve.
