The Trellis team brings a track record of success and senior experience from Congress, the Executive Branch, and industry.
Washington has changed, but most advocacy hasn’t.
Built by people who know how Washington works today.
Margins are narrow, congressional work periods are compressed, and the power dynamics between Congress, the White House, and the agencies are constantly evolving.
Our partners know that yesterday’s playbook doesn’t work in today’s Washington.
They’ve spent years writing and moving aviation and transportation legislation from the inside, and they use strong, diverse networks to deliver results in today’s environment.
Where we work
TRANSPORTATION: WHERE POLICY MOVES
Aviation
Our partners have extensive experience at every stage of the process, from drafting in Congress to implementation at the FAA, with unmatched depth of knowledge of the reauthorization process.
Transportation & Infrastructure
We’ve been at the center of everything transportation-related, including pipeline safety bills, the WRDA process, and Coast Guard reauthorization laws.
Highways & Transit
Federal highway and transit programs are complex, and our partners know how they’re written and how they’re administered. Their experience spans formula funding, Capital Investment Grants, and surface transportation reauthorization.
Appropriations
We’ve worked closely with appropriators in both parties and both chambers to deliver wins on funding, policy changes, and report language.
Transportation Safety
Our expertise lies in engaging on major transportation safety matters across every mode. We understand that policy and communications have to move together to turn safety priorities into real world impact.
Commercial Space
The commercial space industry has grown from a few launches a year to more than 200 licensed operations, and the FAA expects that number to keep growing. Our partners have handled these issues every step of the way.
HOW WE WORK
Close to the policy. Close to the client.
We build deep relationships with our clients to learn their businesses, find solutions to their most pressing issues, and guide them through the legislative process and Federal agencies to the outcome they need. The partner who builds your strategy is the one who sees it through.
