Finance & Funding

Our work is grounded in quantitative analysis. We work with our clients to develop financial models and other tools that support informed decisions and test ​the impact of key inputs on developing, prioritizing, ​phasing, segmenting, and funding investment priorities. Our work ranges from long-range financial plans across multiple modes to project-specific financial plans and financial models in support of applications to the FTA Capital Investment Grant program and the TIFIA and RRIF credit programs. We create strategies that help our clients leverage federal grant funds and identify tailored state, regional, local or private sources of funds to meet their investment needs. We help our clients position for critical federal and state dollars, developing grant strategies and supporting grant applications.
