CIC has experience both with Comprehensive Community Planning and specialized, or Strategic Planning. Prior assignments in Strategic Planning have typically been oriented around an economic development, affordable housing, recreational planning, or transportation issues. We are familiar with recent trends in zoning ordinances, the use of development incentives, building infrastructure improvements into development plans, annexation strategies, and the use of federal funding to facilitate local and regional development.

Our previous clients have typically been smaller, suburban communities who are experiencing significant growth as a result of population shifts. However, we have also worked in urban core areas of major metropolitan cities.

CIC is committed to assisting agencies and communities in meeting National Affordable Housing Act goals. In the past our staff have assisted communities with their Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategies (CHAS) plans and are experienced in applying HUD programs under HOPE and HOME. We have project experience in the use of such initiatives as Supportive Housing, Independent Group Residences (IGR's), HUD Section 202, Shelter Plus Care, CDBG funds, Section 8, HoPWA, HUD Section 811, as well as a variety of State and local funding programs.

CIC has experience with state transportation agencies in Missouri, Illinois and Florida on projects related to Transit System Planning, Facility Site Selection, Parking Studies, Paratransit Services Planning & Management, Community Transportation Systems Planning, Origin?Destination Studies. As is the case with all our other work, our objectives in Transit Planning are always focused around cost-efficient solutions to transit problems. Work products typical of our assignments include: maintenance management, demand forecasting, vehicle replacement planning, fare elasticity planning, mode-split analysis, gravity modeling of trip origins/destinations, marketing, automated routing/scheduling, and efficiency analysis.

To facilitate these solutions, our staff have experience with a wide range of funding opportunities, including: FTA Sections 5309, 5310, and 5311; FTA Planning Funds; Community Services Block Grants; Title XX Block Grants; STP and CMAQ programs; Title V Older American's Act; and various State and consumer-specific initiatives.
