Urban & Transportation Planning

Turn mobility challenges into fundable, buildable solutions

From Regional Transportation Plans to Active Transportation Plans, we combine data-driven analysis with clear communication to deliver plans that boards adopt and funders support.

Clear Direction for Decision-Makers

Translate complex mobility data into board-ready recommendations that councilmembers and commissioners can understand and act on.

Grant-Ready Project Lists

Every plan includes prioritized, costed projects aligned with ATP, HSIP, SB-1, and IIJA funding cycles.

Data-Driven Outcomes

Performance targets, VMT screens, and safety analysis backed by reproducible GIS/SQL workflows.

Fast Time-to-Insight

Automated figure and table generation means less waiting for drafts and faster plan delivery.

How It Works

A proven five-step process that takes your community from data to decision

1

Discovery & Data Assembly

Gather crash data (SWITRS/TIMS), traffic counts (HPMS/Caltrans), Census/ACS demographics, existing plans, and local priorities.

Ensures analysis reflects real conditions and community goals.

2

Analysis & Screening

Run network gap analysis, safety hotspot identification, VMT modeling, and equity screens using PostGIS and proven methods.

Identifies high-value projects with defensible scoring.

3

Scenario Development

Model alternatives with cross-sections, before/after visuals, cost bands, and phasing tied to funding windows.

Helps boards visualize trade-offs and select preferred directions.

4

Plan Assembly & Review

Draft plan with narrative, maps, tables, and appendices; coordinate review with Caltrans, stakeholders, and public comment.

Transparent, auditable documentation ready for adoption.

5

Implementation Support

Post-adoption grant application assistance, project scoping, and annual update guidance.

Plans don't sit on shelves—they turn into funded projects.
