Who we are

Stansell Consulting Group LLC (SCG) was founded by Aja Stansell, a transportation and public outreach professional with extensive experience leading equitable engagement and project coordination for high-profile infrastructure initiatives. After years of working within large consulting environments, Aja established SCG to provide a more focused, thoughtful approach to public outreach and project management—one that prioritizes equity, clarity, and accountability in transportation decision-making.

SCG was created to support transportation projects where thoughtful public outreach and engagement play a critical role in successful outcomes. Drawing on experience supporting complex corridor studies, capital programs, and system-level initiatives, SCG works with project teams to design engagement strategies that inform decisions, reflect community priorities, and support effective project delivery.

our approach

Transportation projects are successful when communities are informed, heard, and respected. SCG approaches outreach as more than a requirement—we treat it as a critical project function that shapes outcomes, mitigates risk, and builds long-term support.

We design engagement strategies that are accessible, culturally responsive, and grounded in equity. Our work prioritizes clear communication, transparency, and follow-through, particularly in communities that have historically been underrepresented in transportation decision-making.

OUR VALUES

Equity-Centered Engagement
Engagement strategies should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve and remove barriers to participation.

Clarity and Accountability
Clear communication and follow-through build credibility with both the public and project partners.

Practical, Experience-Driven Strategy
We focus on approaches that are realistic, implementable, and grounded in real-world project delivery.

SCG brings hands-on experience supporting complex transportation programs, corridor studies, capital improvements, and policy-driven initiatives. We understand the realities of working within constrained schedules, layered approvals, and politically sensitive environments.

In addition to public outreach, we provide project management and advisory support to help teams stay organized, responsive, and accountable. Our experience allows us to anticipate challenges, support coordination across disciplines, and maintain alignment between technical work and public-facing commitments.

EXPERIENCE THAT TRANSLATES TO RESULTS

SUPPORTING SERVICES

While public outreach and project management form the core of our work, SCG also provides government affairs and policy support as a complementary service. This includes navigating agency processes, coordinating with elected offices, and supporting alignment between project goals and broader policy frameworks.

who we work with

SCG partners with transportation agencies, transit operators, local jurisdictions, and consulting teams delivering public infrastructure projects. We are often engaged where projects are complex, highly visible, or require thoughtful engagement to navigate community concerns and competing priorities.
