Solutions that put people first.

Land Use & Transportation

Transportation and land use are deeply connected, shaping how people move and how communities grow. We help clients navigate this relationship at every stage—from project inception and environmental review to construction support and post-construction monitoring. Whether in dense, urban centers or rural areas, we provide insights across all modes of travel.

Our Expertise

We support both public and private clients with:

• Data-Driven Insights: Using metrics like vehicle miles traveled (VMT), mode share, and trip generation to explain the relationship between transportation and land use.
• Cutting-Edge Tools: Leveraging custom-built tools for mixed-use trip generation, curb space management, transportation demand management (TDM), and shared parking.
• Transportation Impact Analyses (TIAs): Evaluating the transportation effects of new developments and redevelopment projects for all modes of travel.
• Travel Demand Forecasting: Developing and applying regional travel demand models and custom-built quick analysis models to forecast land use and transportation trends.
• Long-Range Planning: Developing multi-modal circulation plans that support a community’s long-term vision of the future.
• Environmental Review Support: Guiding projects through federal and state environmental reporting requirements.
• Resilient Infrastructure Planning: Supporting the long-term sustainability of all modes of infrastructure in the face of natural or human-caused disasters and disruptions.
• TDM Strategy and Impact Analysis: Recommending and quantifying transportation demand management (TDM) strategies to reduce vehicle travel and support sustainable transportation systems.
• Public Engagement and Presentations: Translating complex transportation and land use concepts into clear, actionable insights for decision-makers and the communities they represent.
