| PB is the leading provider of economic analysis to support toll traffic
and revenue forecasts, which strengthen the ability of new schemes
to attract private investment.
We specialize in helping project sponsors
understand and communicate how correct implementation
of large transportation programs can stimulate
sustained growth in productivity—and
make it possible for the economy to move
to new and higher levels of activity.
Good travel forecasting supports sound planning
Accurate models and procedures are essential
for sound transportation decisions, playing
a central role in identifying problems and
opportunities. Our forecasting efforts can
help to shape and evaluate alternatives,
identify design standards and capacities
and quantify environmental impacts.
Travel forecasting often becomes challenging
due to complex procedures, outdated models
or unaddressed concerns of a region's planners
and decision-makers.
PB is skilled in negotiating these challenges. Many of our
engagements have required us to develop models to assess the
key factors affecting the long-term traffic growth prospects.
Not only do we provide model development and forecasting services,
we understand how these services fit into the full context
of planning, design and implementation of transportation policies,
strategies and projects.
In the current issue of Economic
Forecasting Review (EFR), a publication of the Strategic
Consulting Group of PB, PB Economists analyze the demographics
of the U.S. Transportation System as well as provide additional
analysis, discussion and forecasts of other economic indicators/issues
that impact the infrastructure sector...(more)
