Moving People and Goods More Effectively: Transportation Planning Built on Rigorous Economic Analysis

Transportation systems are among the most consequential public investments a society makes—shaping economic opportunity, connecting communities, enabling commerce, and determining the long-run competitiveness of regional economies. Getting transportation planning right requires analysis that captures both the direct performance of infrastructure systems and their broader economic effects. Jack Faucett Analytics has been a leading contributor to transportation planning and economics for more than six decades, supporting the full range of analytical work that transportation agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, and federal program offices need.

JFA’s transportation planning practice spans demand forecasting, benefit-cost analysis, freight and logistics assessment, modal investment evaluation, and long-range plan development. We bring deep experience with Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit Administration, and Federal Railroad Administration planning requirements—as well as the quantitative tools to assess how transportation investments affect economic development, accessibility, equity, and system resilience. Our analysts understand the regulatory and institutional landscape of transportation planning at every level of government, enabling JFA to deliver analysis that meets federal standards while addressing the specific planning needs of the clients and communities we serve.
