Strategic Transportation Planning

Turning Uncertainty into Action

RSG helps agencies plan confidently amid change. Our strategic transportation planning services apply exploratory scenario planning (XSP) to test policy and investment choices across a range of plausible futures. By combining transparent, quantitative methods with deep planning expertise, we turn insights into action, helping agencies prioritize strategies that achieve goals for their communities.

Public agencies face mounting pressure to set effective policy and guide long-range investments.

• Housing and land use are evolving: Agencies must address housing supply, land-use patterns, affordability, and access, issues that traditional forecasting tools often struggle to capture.
• Revenue and pricing models are shifting: Changing fuel taxes, congestion pricing, and new revenue strategies require leaders to understand how policy choices shape behavior and outcomes.
• Complex systems need clearer connections: Housing, land use, pricing, and travel behavior interact in ways that demand more transparent, actionable analysis.

These dynamics make it increasingly difficult to chart a path forward without tools that illuminate tradeoffs and clarify priorities. RSG helps agencies move from uncertainty to action through quantitative exploratory scenario planning.

• Use transparent, open-source tools: We apply platforms like VisionEval to test housing, land-use, and pricing strategies across hundreds of plausible futures.
• Integrate data, modeling, and analytics: Our expertise reveals which factors most influence outcomes and what agencies can do about them.
• Deliver clear, defensible guidance: Insights translate into resilient policies and aligned investments that withstand scrutiny.

Our work empowers agencies to make confident, evidence-based decisions that serve their communities well into the future.
