High Street Consulting Group is founded on the philosophy of providing clients with the very best thinking in a highly collaborative environment. The firm’s partners have worked together for over a decade and understand the importance of constant and informal interaction among ourselves and with our clients. For us, the name “High Street” (the United Kingdom’s equivalent to an American town’s Main Street) evokes the image of a common meeting place for exchange of ideas. Its etymology is rooted in the medieval English term for thoroughfares of consequence that were among the first to be paved.
High Street Consulting Group’s experienced professionals understand the core disciplines that guide planning, financing, and delivery of federal, state, and local-level transportation projects and programs. Our capabilities include analytic, research, and advisory services in the areas of strategic planning, long range transportation planning, infrastructure finance, program development, performance measurement, environmental policy, and organizational design and improvement.
