Transportation infrastructure matters more than most people realize. Roads can connect lands that may be part of your community’s development plans for member housing, community use buildings, or economic development projects.

Transportation improvements can include:

+ Pedestrian lighting and safety
+ Road widening and surfacing
+ Bridges and structures

Plus stormwater management to prevent erosion, localized flooding, and property damage.

Roads can be complex, involving other governments and different design standards. FNII can work with communities to develop a Request for Proposals to retain a professional firm to plan and design roads. FNII can also work alongside your team members to review and score bids to find a firm well-suited to undertake planning and design work you have in mind.

A strong business case is the foundation of any successful transportation project. has free tools and resources to help your community get started.
