NELSON\NYGAARD

In 1987, Bonnie Nelson and Diane Nygaard, two former San Francisco Municipal Railway managers, founded the firm in Diane's basement. They believed it was possible to create a transportation planning firm that would foster a fun, egalitarian, and creative work environment, and would provide high-quality, principled work for its clients. Their vision proved successful; Nelson\Nygaard has offices across the nation... Nelson\Nygaard attributes our success to adhering to our mission and core values. We remain deeply committed to mobility, accessibility, and sustainability for all. Helping communities achieve their larger goals defines our approach to transportation planning... Nelson\Nygaard has been at the center of this statewide effort, helping to push for the legislation that triggered this change (SB 743), sharing feedback that has helped shape the final guidelines, and working with some of the major California cities that have already changed their practices.
