Sustainable planning for thriving communities.
Shah Planning & Design provides planning, policy, design, and implementation expertise in areas of transportation, environmental, and land use planning and transit service planning and implementation. Our mission is to help communities, agencies, and organizations adapt to a changing and resource constrained future.
We build from the ancient Sanskrit principle of "Jugaad" or frugal innovation and resourcefulness. We help you develop solutions that can be implemented today with resources you already have.

We provide services in areas of Comprehensive Planning, Land Use Planning, Multi-Modal Corridor Planning & Design, Green Infrastructure Design, Code and Ordinance Development, Hazard Mitigation and Flood Mitigation Planning.
Our team specializes in transit service planning, scheduling, and service implementation. We can walk you through the entire process of developing a transit plan, to writing schedules, creating run-cuts and rosters, to final implementation of service and all the logistics therein.
We also conduct training classes in scheduling, run cutting, rostering, and operations management.
While our work is grounded in communities, it is supported by robust analysis. We leverage data and spatial analysis to better understand problems and craft solutions.
