We are Bridge Collaborative

We serve as expert partners to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and Planning Commissions across the country, guiding them through the complexities of public engagement and environmental justice considerations in transportation planning. Our approach combines deep technical knowledge of federal requirements with practical expertise in community outreach and engagement strategies. This means we can help agencies not only comply with Title VI and environmental justice requirements but also build stronger relationships with the communities they serve.

What sets Bridge Collaborative apart is our commitment to bringing bold ideas to life. We understand that each community and project presents unique challenges, so we work closely with our clients to develop tailored solutions. Whether an agency needs help designing a public participation plan, implementing language access services, or conducting meaningful community outreach, we provide practical, effective strategies that consider local context and needs.

To support our clients' growth and capacity building, we've developed a comprehensive learning platform that serves as a repository of knowledge, training materials, and practical resources. This platform helps transportation professionals develop their skills in public involvement, understand civil rights requirements, and implement effective engagement strategies. From fundamental concepts like meeting facilitation and cultural competency to advanced topics like environmental justice analysis and community benefits agreements, we provide the tools and knowledge needed to create inclusive planning processes.

At our core, Bridge Collaborative believes that successful transportation planning requires both technical excellence and genuine community engagement. We partner with our clients to ensure that their public involvement efforts create meaningful opportunities for community input while satisfying state and federal requirements. Our work helps build stronger connections between agencies and the communities they serve, leading to better transportation outcomes for everyone.

Through this combination of expertise, practical support, and capacity building, Bridge Collaborative helps transportation agencies transform their approach to public engagement and environmental justice, creating more equitable and effective planning processes that truly serve their community's needs.
