Comprehensive Mobility Programs
Planning Company Associates, Inc. develops, manages, and implements comprehensive mobility plans and programs that meet both public and private sector objectives for funding and implementation. Typically, these programs garner both public and private sector support for improving mobility, enhancing access and safety, and providing a mix of innovative and strategic funding to accelerate project development and implementing. Our approach includes:

• A regional review and approach to transportation infrastructure mobility and congestion relief versus a focus on “mitigation myopia” – the band-aid approach that solves little or nothing, and may create unnecessary cost and impact.
  
• A strategic approach designed to build consensus toward a positive result. We review all planning, community and political ramifications as part of the design of the mobility and access programs.
  
• A management approach that forges a team of both private and public sector professionals dedicated to a positive result in a timely fashion.
  
• An implementation approach to all land use – transportation master planning programs. This includes financing and phasing of development/infrastructure, ensuring that good planning is implemented.
