It is fair to say that transport planning and design often go under the radar, and it is usually only when things go wrong that people give it a second thought. Yet good transport planning and design is the foundation of economic prosperity. It has far-reaching positive effects on society, the environment and wellbeing, and drives the transformation of local communities.
Our specialist Manchester-based team offers a complete transport planning and infrastructure design consultancy service, largely supported by the acquired firm, Croft Transport Planning & Design. We work with our clients from the inception of a project through to the planning, construction and monitoring.
We understand the unique features of every development and have a track record of delivering seamless and sustainable transport planning solutions that generate positive outcomes throughout your project.
Transport planning is the strategic process of determining how people and goods should move through an area. It involves forecasting travel demand, assessing existing infrastructure capacity, modelling traffic flows and developing policies to address movement needs.
Planners work with data on population growth, land use patterns and travel behaviour to shape long-term transport strategies. The output typically includes transport assessments, movement strategies, and policy recommendations.
Transport design is the physical, technical implementation of transport infrastructure. Designers create the actual layouts, geometries and specifications for roads, junctions, cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings and public transport facilities.
Designers work with engineering standards, safety requirements and detailed dimensions to produce drawings and specifications that can be built. While planning establishes what is needed and where, design determines exactly how it will be constructed.
As a transport consultancy, we consider the mobility of all parts of society in our projects and take a people and place-based approach to create solutions that have a positive impact on every transport user.
Whether we are working with local or national developers, local authorities or sub-national and national government, we provide cost-effective, pragmatic and sustainable solutions that are backed up by detailed plans and recommendations.
Our clients value our expertise, knowledge and conscientiousness throughout the transport planning and design process. We also promise to deliver innovative solutions with skill, professionalism and integrity, and are committed to seamless journeys that are highly integrated and reliable for all.
We operate across all sectors and provide a complete range of transport planning and design services, including:
