Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
To improve communities by providing innovative and collaborative solutions in transportation and accessibility, fostering inclusivity and sustainability.
Our Vision
To be the leading trusted partner for communities seeking to create accessible, equitable, and sustainable solutions that enhance the quality of life for all.
Our Values
The four values that embody our approach to everything are:
Creativity: Our staff share new ideas, challenge the status quo, and prioritize innovation, because we’re always striving to improve. We take time to reflect on the successes and challenges of the work, and how we could improve for next time, both individually and as a team. LTRT approaches client relationships with humor and humility. We go above and beyond to offer high-quality services. As a result, we pride ourselves on the repeat clients that come from this approach.
Collaboration: LTRT fosters a work environment where team members feel safe, supported, and uplifted to work to their full potential and be their whole selves. We prioritize open communication, set and communicate clear expectations, and normalize asking for help. Staff work together to identify and resolve individual and collective barriers to success. Team members are encouraged to demonstrate accountability by following through on commitments and supporting others to do the same.
Balance: LTRT prioritizes flexibility to support schedules and workplace needs; when staff do take time off, colleagues respect it. Staff recognize our own limits and communicate them. Because we share work as a team, we try to recognize when teammates are in need and actively reach out to provide support. Balance is also about making time for fun and relaxation. Clients are met with enthusiasm and positivity where possible. The analysis and recommendations we offer clients strike a balance principled and pragmatic considerations.
Ethics: We have a positive social and environmental impact on our communities. As a staff team, LTRT incorporates our social and environmental impact into our decision-making (including refusing clients whose purpose is misaligned with our values and commitments). We respect and advance Indigenous sovereignty and racial justice, and seek to advance justice for other equity-denied groups, including people with disabilities, trans and other 2SLGBTQ communities, gender minorities, and economically disadvantaged communities. We transparently share information about business practices and success with staff, and we value them fairly, recognizing their experience, their growth and development, and their responsibilities.
Our History
Since our founding in 2014, LTRT’s transit and accessibility divisions have grown to nearly 25 staff who have served hundreds of clients across North America. We have a fully distributed workforce. Although we are anchored by our roots in Toronto, our staff are located in Winnipeg, Charlottetown, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver.
We have clients in every province across Canada, and are active in multiple US states. Our clients range from local municipalities, transit agencies, small and large businesses, provincial governments, and federal agencies. No longer the new kid on the block, LTRT has established itself in our two areas of expertise as a nationally-recognized boutique consultancy.
