Cross-Cutting Services
Connected, Resilient Communities
Services that support Connected, Resilient Communities
Working with governments, transportation agencies, and community-based organizations, Cascadia provides reliable research, planning, and on-the-ground community-centered engagement to help ensure that transportation and capital improvement projects are designed and implemented in a way that includes community perspectives and centers community resilience. Our greenhouse gas emissions inventories capture on-road, off-road, and aviation impacts and opportunities, our transportation planning support focuses on finding common ground across sectors with competing priorities, and our inclusive engagement team connects with communities to explain impacts in digestible ways, collect input, and build trust from early planning through design and construction.
