The discussion will cover emerging trends, infrastructure planning, and practical approaches for transportation and planning professionals.

Frank will join experts from FHWA, Leidos, and Cambridge Systematics to discuss how communities and agencies can better coordinate freight and land use planning to support future transportation needs.

This is a conversation worth tuning into.

This month's planning term is...Human-Scale Design!

Human-scale design = built for people. Think: shorter crossings, slower traffic and spaces that feel good to walk through.

At Renaissance Planning Group, we design environments that match how people actually move and experience a place - not just how fast cars can get through it.

When you think of Human-Scale Design, what place comes to mind? We'd love to hear!

Great transportation plans don’t just sit on a shelf...they get built.

In today’s competitive funding landscape, agencies that can demonstrate project delivery are the ones that secure and keep funding. It’s not just about ideas-it’s about ex*****on.

At Renaissance Planning Group, we go beyond planning. Through our Grants & Program Delivery practice, we help clients align projects with funding opportunities, craft compelling grant applications, and support implementation from start to finish-ensuring real, measurable outcomes.

We’re launching a new series: Planning Term of the Month!

Each month we will highlight a concept commonly used in urban planning and explain what it means and why it matters for communities.

03/04/2026

Urban planning shapes how people move, live, and access opportunities, which is why community engagement is essential.

At Renaissance Planning, we work with agencies to design engagement approaches that bring community perspectives into the planning process alongside technical analysis. Public workshops and outreach help ensure decisions about transportation, housing, safety, and public space reflect real-world needs and experiences.

When communities are meaningfully involved, plans are more responsive, more implementable, and more likely to deliver lasting benefits. Good planning isn’t just about designing places; it’s about planning with people.

To celebrate engineer’s week and keep on the topic of freight, it’s important to know why freight and engineering work hand and hand!

Moving goods safely and efficiently through communities takes more than good design - it takes understanding how places work. Freight planners look at the big picture, including land use, local needs, and how deliveries affect neighborhoods. Engineers focus on the details, making sure roads, intersections, and facilities are safe and built to handle freight traffic.

At Renaissance Planning, we lead freight and goods movement planning in close collaboration with engineering partners. When planning and engineering are aligned, freight projects are more practical, safer, and better suited to the communities they serve, balancing mobility, livability, and long-term goals.

Last week, Renaissance's Becca Buthe attended the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy’s Consortium for Scenario Planning Conference in Salt Lake City. It was a great chance to connect with planners and academics from across the country and to dive into real-life applications of scenario planning.

A highlight was the site visit to the Daybreak community, where she learned more about the public-private partnership that helped drive the site’s remediation and long-term development. Becca is excited to bring these insights back to her work, including upcoming transit-oriented development and technical assistance projects with communities nationwide.

Every community deserves streets that are safe, accessible, and built to support everyone who uses them.

The City of Port Richey’s Safety Action Plan, now officially approved, is a testament to what happens when data, local insight, and collaboration come together with purpose.

Working alongside Transportation Consultants () and the City of Port Richey, Renaissance helped shape a plan rooted in community input and priorities, translating analysis into action under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.

Our role goes beyond planning. We help cities find clarity in complexity, align partners around shared goals, and create momentum for meaningful change.
