In 1985, Juergen Fehr and Jack Peers set out to build a different kind of transportation consulting firm—one that empowered its people and focused on improving communities through innovation and creativity. Forty years later, that mission continues to guide everything we do.
We know we didn’t get here alone. To our clients and partners: thank you for your trust, your vision, and the opportunity to grow together.
Over the last 40 years, the world of transportation has changed dramatically, and the pace of change keeps accelerating. From new technologies to evolving priorities around equity, sustainability, and resilience, we’re energized to solve new challenges with you!
As we celebrate this milestone, we do so with gratitude — and excitement for the road ahead.

Driving Less Starts with Building Differently
How much can planning decisions actually reduce driving? Our latest research introduces a statistical model that links built environment choices—such as density, transit service, walkability, and land use mix—to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). The findings give planners and policymakers practical, evidence-based tools to evaluate scenarios, understand tradeoffs, and make more informed transportation and land use decisions.
Navigating VMT Under CEQA
VMT under CEQA continues to evolve as agencies, practitioners, and decision makers work through analysis methods, mitigation feasibility, and defensible evidence. Our new Q&A resource offers practical answers on vehicle miles traveled, SB 743, mitigation program design, implementation, administration, and legal and strategic considerations.
