Planning for alternatives to the single-occupancy vehicle is not simply an adjunct to Nelson\Nygaard's primary business - it is our business. For nearly 20 years, we have been helping communities create visions for mixed-use, walkable, transit-oriented developments, get people out of their cars, improve mobility for disabled people, and improve access to campuses, downtowns, airports and community facilities.

A fully multimodal approach is a hallmark of Nelson\Nygaard's work. We have extensive experience of transit, bicycle and pedestrian planning and transportation demand management - not just in isolation but as an integral part of strategic plans and specific site proposals. We realize that transportation is not an end in itself, but rather a means toward achieving larger community goals.

Creating great places requires an understanding and appreciation of diversity. Every neighborhood, every community, every site and every transportation system is different.

We have developed innovative tools to engage local people and elected officials, helping them to articulate their particular values and objectives, and leading them through the inevitable tradeoffs between different goals.

Nelson\Nygaard has a core team of experienced planners that offers one of the best track records of innovative design and successful implementation available anywhere. We want to see our plans working on the street, and will go the extra mile to help get there. Our plans are working in cities, towns, colleges and universities, national parks and rural areas - helping communities thrive throughout the United States.
