Who We Are
Trusted Partners
Our clients have trusted us to be their partners in transportation planning and engineering since 1985. Clients consistently choose to team with us because of our commitment to being the best at what we do. We live out our commitment, mission, and vision in three distinct ways: a talented workforce, a robust research and development program, and a local community focus.
A Talented Workforce
Our commitment to attracting and growing the best consulting talent in the industry strengthens our ability to collaborate and meet the needs of the diverse communities we serve. We look for diverse backgrounds, motivations, and perspectives in our hiring process and cultivate a shared mission around the work we deliver for our partners through lasting investments in staff development.
A Robust Research & Development Program
We fund our own research and development efforts. Our internally-funded initiatives enable us to develop new analytical methods and tools to provide high-performing, objective, and durable recommendations that support communities and advance the state-of-the-practice.
A Local Community Focus
Our consulting approach focuses on partnering with clients and ensures tailored, objective solutions in line with local community values and informed by long-lasting relationships. We listen to the unique needs and challenges of each community and each project in order to provide recommendations that shape and guide the envisioned transportation futures for everyone involved.

Diversity and Inclusion has been a key focus for Fehr & Peers since our inception in 1985. While we are proud of the progress we’ve made over the years, we realize that we have much more work to do and we are continually seeking ways to improve. We do so by routinely engaging a broad group of staff from around the company in conversations to identify ways to further evolve our Diversity and Inclusion efforts at both the company-wide and office level. This includes regular group meetings, annual actions, and periodic company-wide reporting of metrics such as:
- Recruiting statistics including our target universities, diversity-focused events, etc.
- Diversity of our workforce compared to industry averages and the communities we serve
- Diversity of our workforce for various staff levels
- Gender pay equity analysis
- Corporate equality index
We are also continually investing in our staff to improve the Diversity and Inclusion aspects of our consulting skills through such means as company-wide training programs on equity, trust-building, communication, and cognitive bias; as well as new services to clients in the areas of community engagement and conflict resolution.
Advancing the Industry
Transforming transportation consulting is a key motivator for all of the work we do. Beyond our consulting work with clients, we also are actively involved in many aspects of the industry to advance the state-of-the-practice and individuals working within it. Below are a few examples of how we actively contribute:
We support and maintain leadership positions within transportation industry professional organizations, including ITE, WTS, NACTO, APA, and TRB.
Our staff members consistently present and share our research and development findings and client innovations at industry conferences nationwide.
We value and participate in knowledge sharing and information seeking through our website, in person at events, and through publications or web-based media.
We continually explore different and better ways of serving our clients through our investments in research and development and frequent contact with clients to understand their changing needs.
Through our subsidiary, Left Lane Advisors, we provide professional consulting services to companies, institutions, and public agencies in the industry seeking to advance the potential and services provided by their leaders.
