Expanding Expertise

Curiosity and initiative inspire us to be transformational leaders in the industry and are part of our commitment to being the best at what we do. That is why we invest our own money in research and development activities. 

Disruptive forces in technology, demographics, and socioeconomics are affecting transportation and communities like never before. How do we help communities evolve in optimal ways? That very question inspires our firm’s commitment to listening first, and then creating custom, innovative, and practical solutions. Our clients enjoy and anticipate communicating with us about the latest trends, opportunities, and changes in transportation. And we love those conversations. Creating and continuing regular conversations also fosters an environment that encourages the sharing of knowledge and brings diverse perspectives.

Our process of combining client needs and priorities with our ever-evolving research and development investments sets us apart from our competition. This industry leadership empowers us to continually provide insightful information and timely, relevant recommendations for what our clients need most.

Research & Development

Developing leading-edge solutions for communities requires initiative, active listening, and innovation. At Fehr & Peers, we take a unique approach by investing our own funds into multiple research and development activities. Our innovations go even beyond the financial commitment – our company culture generates and encourages an appetite for new and better ways of approaching problems and processes. Through our unique FP Think efforts, Discipline Groups, and Custom Tools, we are continually looking for better ways to find solutions and embrace forward thinking. We would love to hear ideas from you for our next research and development venture.

FP Think

Clients often have questions about how disruptive forces in technology, demographics, and socioeconomics may affect their communities. What does this all mean for transportation planning decisions? FP Think is our own initiative to enhance understanding in these very uncertain areas. We explore how those planning decisions might be affected and what shapes the possible solutions may take. The specific content evolves over time to be responsive to changes in our society and the world.

Discipline Groups

Discipline Groups dig deeper into specialized areas of our industry. They involve collaborations between staff across the company, fostering inclusion and multiple perspectives. The groups seek to advance our knowledge and expertise in specific technical areas and find answers to complicated technical questions. They are empowered to explore and share trends, establish best practices, implement quality control procedures, and develop strategic research projects. Group leaders and members alike are actively immersed in advanced project applications and meet throughout the year to collaborate on their technical areas of interest. Collectively, our Discipline Groups simultaneously advance the planning process and create innovative visions and solutions for clients and communities.

Custom Tools

Not only are we immersed in the latest technology and techniques, but we use them to develop our own custom tools. By listening to the needs of our clients, recognizing industry needs, and leveraging robust research processes, we’ve designed our own suite of tools. These advanced tools reflect our expertise from across the country, and allow us to perform efficient analysis and communicate our analysis results clearly to diverse audiences. The different tools span a wide range of technical areas, enabling us to help clients find solutions to multiple problems across a variety of transportation needs and challenges. Each tool has been designed to provide accurate, data-driven performance metrics in a quick-response format, enabling us to test multiple scenarios and produce effective and visually compelling summaries.
