Overview

Midwest Land & Transport helps communities turn long-range vision into actionable plans. We bring AICP-grounded planning practice together with operational experience from public agencies, transit authorities, and large-scale logistics, so the strategies we produce are built to be funded, built, and used.

Our work covers comprehensive and neighborhood plans, multimodal corridor studies, bike and pedestrian master plans, transit service analysis, and economic development strategic planning. We connect land use and mobility decisions so communities can grow with intention.

Who it's for

  • Cities, counties, and regional planning agencies
  • Transit agencies and MPOs
  • Non-profits and community development organizations
