About LJA

LJA is an employee-owned, multidisciplinary consulting firm providing integrated planning, design, and engineering services to public and private sector clients nationwide. With more than 50 years of experience and over 3,000 employee-owners, LJA brings the depth of a national firm with the responsiveness and accountability of a trusted local partner.

LJA's planning practice is rooted in helping communities and clients make informed, implementable decisions. Our planners work collaboratively across disciplines to deliver transportation planning, feasibility and land-use analysis, comprehensive master planning, urban design, redevelopment and revitalization strategies, and community development initiatives. This integrated approach ensures that planning recommendations are grounded in real-world constraints, aligned with market and fiscal realities, and positioned for successful implementation.

Planning services at LJA are closely supported by in-house expertise in transportation planning, public works, landscape architecture, GIS, surveying, and infrastructure engineering, allowing projects to move seamlessly from vision to design to delivery. Our teams regularly support local governments, MPOs, developers, and special districts, providing clear guidance through zoning, capital planning, and regulatory processes while maintaining a strong focus on public engagement.

LJA leverages advanced GIS and data-driven tools to support scenario planning, spatial analysis, and decision-making. Proprietary tools and mapping capabilities enable our planners to evaluate constraints, visualize alternatives, and clearly communicate complex information to elected officials, staff, and the public.

LJA is committed to delivering planning solutions that are practical, context-sensitive, and resilient. Our employee-owned culture fosters long-term relationships, staff continuity, and a shared commitment to helping communities grow responsibly, sustainably, and with purpose.
