Transport Planning

Flow helps to develop transport policies, strategies, plans, guidelines and projects at national, regional and local levels, within a framework of sustainable development.  Our expertise covers integrated land-use and transport studies, rail, ferry, bus, car, walking and cycling modes, in rural, urban and main street settings.  It includes the assessment of demand management techniques, such as parking, road pricing and high occupancy vehicle facilities.  We advise on all stages of projects, from the development of strategies, through option development, feasibility, assessment and detailed design.  We work with local and national government as well as the private sector.
Our studies include:
  • Strategic planning associated with land use and transport integration,
  • Integrated Transport Assessments (relating to new development),
  • Travel demand management and travel planning,
  • Trip generation assessments (including trip estimates by all modes of transport),
  • Multi modal transport studies,
  • Planning of transit oriented development,
  • Corridor management plans, and
  • Parking studies.
