Planning
Planning encompasses a broad range of disciplines that is the
ground work for virtually all architectural and engineering
projects. Transportation, Facilities, Water/Wastewater and
every other type of project will require some element of planning
to allow engineering efforts to proceed. From full
environmental studies and development of alternates to simply
acquiring land use permits, planning is a necessity to move your
projects forward.
JMT, through our multi-disciplinary planning staff, provides
required planning, engineering, environmental, and consensus
building services to Federal, state and local clients. Our services
range from regional and community based planning for comprehensive
master plans, and feasibility studies, to project planning for
context sensitive streets & highways, transit, airport, and
pedestrian & bicycle facilities. JMT's approach to planning
includes a holistic approach that incorporates transportation and
community needs, environmental resources, cost effective and
innovative solutions. These services are provided using a variety
of public involvement techniques and forums, relying on an
extensive array of JMT-developed graphics - from static displays to
3D animations - to build client and community consensus for the
plan or project. Technical studies and recommendations are provided
for key planning elements such as: developing purpose and need or
goal setting; identification, quantification and evaluation
of NEPA & state required environmental resources and impacts
for land use and transportation; traffic data collection, travel
forecasting and analysis; economic development; historic
preservation; housing and community services; alternative
development; and project and facility cost estimating. JMT's
approach to planning focuses on the development of recommendations
based on coordination with Federal, state and local resource
agencies to ensure the elements can obtain all required permits
& approvals and can be constructed.
