Clearly identifying the problem and the desired outcomes should be the first step in any planning process. With experience from across North America and the UK, our team can help you establish the framework for downstream success and avoid developing plans and options that will not meet your objectives.
TOPEstablishing a long range plan and strategy sets the roadmap for agencies, cities, and regions and helps to identify future projects and investment priorities. Our team have worked with clients from small towns and transit systems all the way up to some of world's biggest mega-cities and regional transit agencies to help develop transportation plans that blend the visionary with the pragmatic to ensure that what is in the plan can actually be delivered.

From local bus to BRT to streetcars, light rail, metros and heavy rail; our team have experience in comparing options and making the right recommendations to meet the demand, planning and the city-shaping needs of your mulit-modal transportation challenges.
TOPUnderstanding the level of future demand and associated revenue from any transportation investment is a critical input to decision making. With decades of experience of both public transit and highway modelling, our team can help right-size your next infrastructure project.

Bus Rapid Transit comes in many different forms, from limited stop to dedicated corridors and infrastructure. Our team is skilled in helping our clients develop strategies for single corridors through to helping set wider network parameters, plan future networks and prioritize interventions..
TOPPlanning and designing infrastructure needs to come with an understanding of the long term operations and maintenance plans and costs. Our team brings real-world experience of system operations which helps ensure that what we plan plan can be efficiently and affordably operated for years to come.

Understanding the detail of how individual cars and transit services will move following a major change in a road network or intersection design can be a useful tool in assessing the relative impacts and benefits of localised changes. Our team have extensive road and transit network microsimulation experience from both the UK and Canada and can help with both detailed modelling as well as interpreting model output data.
TOPAs the gap between available funding and infrastructure requirements continues to grow, the need to demonstrate that a project provides value for money is becoming increasingly important. Our team has decades of experience developing decision making processes to ensure that recommendations made are transparent, defensible and use a clear evidence base that can be supported by decision makers.

If
the expression "when all is said and done, a lot more gets said
than done" rings true, you aren't alone. Far too many projects end
up as plans or reports on shelves gathering dust. With our team's
understanding of public and private funding and financing tools and government
approval processes, we can help you find a way to get your
project delivered.
From local plans to major infrastructure projects, effective project development, management and direction is essential to driving projects forward. With experience across all transportation modes, our team brings a unique range of skills – integrating strategic thinking and structured processes with technical expertise and industry understanding.

Building support and consensus from stakeholders and the public are
critical to the success of any project, no matter the size. Our team has developed
and implemented consultation processes for public and private sector clients
across North America including:
• Facilitating public
meetings and workshops;
• Building consensus
and soliciting feedback from a range of stakeholder groups; and
• Presenting to both public and
stakeholders across a range of complex, technical subjects including
infrastructure, transit technologies and financing tools
Different procurement models inherently require different types of technical specificiations with owners needing to trade-off potential cost savings through bidder innovation using pure performance-based specifications against presciribing exactly what they want through a detailed design. Our team have supported both owners and bidders through procurement and can bring both perspectives to your next project.
