Use it alongside your expertise
The brief is not a substitute for planning judgment, Title VI work, forecasting, or a service plan. It gives you a reproducible public-data comparison and a concise evidence appendix.
For Transit Planning Consultants
Give your client recommendation a documented NTD peer set.
TransitLedger prepares a fixed-scope, source-cited comparison packet when you need a clear peer rationale for a client recommendation, proposal, board memo, or grant discussion.
Keep the method visible
Each packet identifies the report year, reported measures, peer-selection logic, exclusions, formulas, and limits, so you can explain the comparison instead of simply presenting a score.
Buy a bounded deliverable
The $750 fixed scope includes a reviewed six-page PDF, printable HTML companion, CSV appendix, one walkthrough, and one revision after scope confirmation.
Start with an answerable question.
Describe the agency or client, the decision being supported, and the comparison question. Do not send confidential client, procurement, or personally sensitive information.
