Government & Public Policy
AR+D was founded by political scientists. Our government work covers public policy, land use planning, federal and state regulation, and legislation. California state and municipal agencies adopted the policy research and recommendations we prepared for them. We also design and run outreach campaigns built around accessibility from the start.
What we deliver here
Public Policy Research & Analysis
We review legislation, existing policy, and agency data, then deliver written analysis of options, tradeoffs, and likely effects for decision-makers.
Land Use & Urban Planning
We research land use, development patterns, and community conditions, then prepare analysis that planning staff and local officials can act on.
Community Outreach Campaigns
We design and execute outreach campaigns for residents and community groups, with materials and meetings built around accessibility from the start.
Strategic Planning for Government Agencies
We work with agency leadership to set priorities and produce strategic plans with clear goals, sequenced actions, and assigned responsibilities.
Public Relations & Stakeholder Engagement
We identify the stakeholders an initiative affects, run interviews and briefings with them, and shape public messaging around what we learn.
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
We map the federal and state requirements that apply to a program and help staff build procedures that keep it in compliance.
Curriculum & Training Development
We design curricula and training for agency staff and public programs, including session materials, facilitator guides, and learning assessments.
