Local and Regional Transportation Planning

As a highly experienced  firm, we know that local and regional planning requires a forward-thinking and integrated approach. At Jack Faucett Analytics, we understand that effective transportation planning goes beyond traditional metrics to incorporate factors like social equity and sustainability. Our expertise lies in integrating advanced travel demand models with economic impact models, which allows us to holistically evaluate the wider effects of transportation decisions. This approach also emphasizes a coordinated effort to link land use and transportation planning, promote multimodal solutions, and develop long-term visions that address the needs of all community members, especially underserved populations.

 

Our notable project experience includes leading six major NCHRP research projects, which demonstrates our commitment to developing cutting-edge methodologies and contributing to the industry’s knowledge base. Our work in local and regional planning is fundamentally about shaping communities for the future. We believe that transportation planning should not exist in a vacuum, but rather be a catalyst for economic development and social equity. This is achieved by first identifying the latent value within a local economy and then developing plans that address historical inequities and promote a more sustainable future. Our team’s ability to integrate diverse data sets—from travel demand models to demographic information—allows us to craft plans that are not only efficient but also equitable and resilient. We are committed to helping agencies secure transportation grants by providing robust cost-benefit analyses that extend beyond financial metrics to include the more challenging, but equally important, aspects of quality of life and community well-being.
