Connected transport networks

Connected transport networks

Australia's public and active transport networks face growing pressure. Expanding populations, climate targets and changing travel patterns are driving investment in rail, bus, cycling and pedestrian infrastructure aimed at reducing congestion, supporting lower emissions and improving access.

While active transport is a core scope in many major transport programs, challenges remain. Budget pressures, network integration, regulatory complexity and community expectations demand careful planning and delivery.

We help clients navigate this complexity across a wide range of active and public transport projects, including shared paths and cycleways, pedestrian infrastructure, park-and-ride facilities, bus upgrades, tram stops and depots, public transport buildings and infrastructure.

What we do

Public and active transport services

We provide integrated transport planning, traffic engineering and design services across multiple stages of the project lifecycle. Our team works with government agencies, public transport operators, councils and contractors on active and public transport infrastructure, with a focus on improving safety, connectivity and access.

How we deliver transport projects

Accessible transport design

Accessible transport design

Accessibility is central to our transport design work. We design pedestrian and cycling infrastructure in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA), the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002, and other applicable requirements. This can include accessible pathways, tactile ground surface indicators, accessible bus stops and parking, and connected routes between transport modes.
