Clients and owners are facing growing expectations to deliver infrastructure faster while managing risk, attracting funding and building public trust. That makes early decision-making – often before the design phase even begins – a critical step in shaping the programs that have a generational impact on communities. 

STV’s planning team encompasses transportation, environmental and land-use experts who partner with clients to shape a program’s path from vision to delivery. Whether it’s transforming transit corridors, evaluating economic impacts, or advancing a capital program, STV can help guide the decisions that make projects successful.  

The team’s technical experts collaborate with clients and communities with a mission to better understand the “why” behind our work – improving quality of life through the built environment while preserving and enhancing natural systems. By integrating big-picture strategy with practical delivery expertise, STV helps our clients create infrastructure programs that are actionable, fundable and ready to deliver real impact.
