Transport is in a major transition. New technologies, business models, changing lifestyles and ways of working are all rapidly shifting the needs and expectations of the travelling public. Our transport networks are also key to achieving net zero goals, while enabling cities and towns to develop, improving social and economic participation for all.
“Accessibility is a fundamental enabler for urban and regional goals for the future – most pressingly decarbonising transport. For clients, these are big, expensive and long-term decisions, which need creative thinking on funding and delivery, underpinned by powerful tools and robust data analytics. ”
Jonathan Kinghorn Global Transport Planning Leader
Better outcomes for all
At Arup, we work with transport agencies, operators, national and local governments and the private sector to solve some of their most pressing challenges, such as aging infrastructure, inefficient operations, poor air quality and congestion, in a way that also unlocks and enables wider city-shaping objectives.
By blending expertise on active travel, policy advice, economics, major infrastructure delivery, public transport, future mobility and freight and logistics, we deliver integrated design outcomes for cities, built on technical rigour, powerful data analytics and strategic assessment.
Integrated expertise, across modes and scales
Our transport consultants work in an integrated and collaborative way across every mode and scale, from footpaths and streets to city and regional issues, delivering strategic expert advice across modes, including active travel, rail, bus, connected and autonomous vehicles, highways, and freight and logistics. We provide comprehensive and sustainable multi-modal transport strategies for cities, airports, ports, universities, hospitals and major events, connecting the needs of passengers, staff and movement of goods.
We combine deep transport knowledge with related expertise from different teams in Arup when needed. This plays out in time and efficiency savings, as well as ease of access to specialists for our clients. For example, if urban regeneration is ultimately the goal of a new transport system, we work with our economists and masterplanners to clearly outline the broader business case at the outset and make the case for funding. On a more detailed level, we draw on highly specific expertise to tackle issues at planning stage, for example, tunnel design and ventilation issues for a highway capping project.
