Funding, Finance and Grant Management
Studies and plans don’t belong sitting on a shelf—a key component to implementation is funding.
Through our work on long range transportation plans, freight studies and strategic plans we can help you identify realistic funding opportunities that meet the goals of your agency.
We’ve helped agencies secure around $1 billion in grant funding for a range of passenger and freight rail, highway, port, transit, bikeways, and active transportation as well as technology and complete streets projects.
In addition to helping tell your community’s story through compelling narrative, here are some of the ways we can support your agency’s next grant:
Revenue Forecasting and Tolling and Pricing Strategies
Using micro-simulation models, we’ve helped Departments of transportation estimate revenue of designated corridors based on combinations of potential pricing policies, growth scenarios forecasts, pricing sensitivities of the public and traveler’s value of time.
Enhanced Economic Analysis through TIERS
Partner with us for access to our exclusive Transportation Impact and Economic Return System (TIERS). The TIERS framework reinvents how agencies incorporate economic analysis into planning by combining expert knowledge, stakeholder input and first-hand research to generate economic model inputs that are reliable, transparent and defensible.
Benefit-Cost Analysis
Using a systematic approach, we create a customized tool for your agency that takes into account Federal guidance regarding evaluation criteria, discount and monetization rates, and evaluation methods.
