Active Transport Planning Investment

Quantify the impacts of walking and cycling projects, land use change and network improvements.

Active transport projects need evidence that reflects how people actually walk and cycle today, and how behaviour could change in the future. VLC helps clients understand current patterns, test scenarios and build stronger cases for investment.

The challenge

Walking and cycling projects are often smaller than major road or rail projects, but still need robust evidence. Traditional modelling and appraisal can be disproportionate for fast-moving decisions.

Decision-makers must:

• Understand current walking and cycling demand
• Test network, land use and PT changes
• Quantify benefits such as mode shift, health and decongestion
• Prioritise projects with defensible evidence

How we help

VLC combines active transport modelling, People Movement Data, spatial analytics and rapid appraisal workflows to help clients test project impacts and prioritise investment.

We combine active transport modelling, People Movement Data, Planwisely, CBA and spatial analysis to:

• Analyse walk and cycle trips, volumes and routes
• Create and test active transport scenarios
• Quantify project impacts
• Support prioritisation and funding decisions

The result is faster, clearer evidence for walking and cycling decisions.

Capabilities we bring

We bring together a set of integrated capabilities to support investment decisions:
