Services that move people and places forward
As a Native-owned consultancy, we partner with public and Tribal teams to connect transportation decisions to jobs, access, and trust. We clarify goals, map tradeoffs, and align partners—then turn insight into action across planning and service design, funding strategy and grant positioning, engagement and public information, GIS mapping and technology integration, and accessible digital solutions. Our work respects sovereignty, centers riders, and gives leaders clear, defensible choices with decision-ready maps, practical roadmaps, and plain-language communications.
Engagement & Communications
Trust is a deliverable. We co-design with riders and partners, then translate choices into plain-language information people can actually use.
Community relations & public engagement (listening sessions, surveys, co-design, accessible formats)
Stakeholder planning & facilitation (mapping/prioritization, boards/councils, intergovernmental partners)
Service change & public information (preview maps, FAQs, rider alerts; media packets, plain-language content)
Campaigns, digital outreach & crisis readiness (press/op-eds, email/social playbooks, scenarios, rapid response)
Funding & Policy
We position projects to compete—and keep them compliant through delivery. Clear narratives, clean packages, and right-sized requirements from Title VI to procurement.
Funding strategy (FTA, state, regional; match approaches, timelines, portfolio planning)
