The practice

 

Six decades getting

transportation,

energy, and

environmental

decisions right.

 

JFA was founded in 1963 by Jack Faucett, who pioneered input-output modeling alongside Nobel Laureate Wassily Leontief. Sixty-two years later we still build the models, still write the regulatory analyses, and still explain the result plainly enough that a member of Congress and an agency engineer can both act on it.
