Every infrastructure project has two responsibilities. One is technical. The other is human. The technical work ensures projects are compliant, fundable, and buildable. The human work ensures communities understand why those projects matter. Parker & Vale exists to do both.
Planning support, federal compliance, public engagement, and grant narrative development grounded in a decade of firsthand experience inside MPOs and regional agencies. We know the documents, the deadlines, and the public decisions behind them.
Whether you need TIP amendments processed, a long-range plan written, or a grant narrative that makes a technical project clear, this is the work we were trained to do.
Interactive maps, story maps, dashboards, and spatial data work built to make infrastructure visible to elected officials, stakeholders, and the public. Data that stays locked in shapefiles and spreadsheets doesn't change decisions.
We build open-source spatial tools that organizations can own and maintain, with maps designed for people who need to understand a place quickly.
Documentary shorts, photography, project films, interviews, designed planning documents, and public meeting media turn technical work into something communities can see and trust. People support what they understand. They understand what they can see.
From a two-minute corridor film shown at a public meeting to a full documentary about a community's long-range vision, storytelling is part of the infrastructure work itself.
Engagements are scoped to the project. Most clients start with a conversation about what they need — not a fixed menu.
Ongoing planning support on a monthly basis. Ideal for small MPOs or municipalities without full-time planning staff.
Scoped to a specific outcome: a plan update, a story map, a documentary film, or a dashboard. Fixed scope, clear timeline.
Embedded support for larger organizations with ongoing planning, mapping, and public engagement needs across multiple projects.
