Active travel advice and support
Successful active travel schemes combine a number of elements, from transport, public health and wellbeing to town and city planning, climate change and the environment.
We bring together expertise from each of those domains and experience from active travel schemes the world over. At a senior level, we often act as a sounding board for cities and authorities as they formulate their plans.
We have been working with the National Transport Authority in Ireland since 2012 to advance the Regional Cities Bike Share Scheme in Galway, Limerick and Cork. We are currently managing the implementation of a new scheme in Waterford City, bringing the total number of bicycles to more than 1,000 at over 100 stations across the four cities.
Arup has been appointed by the Southern California Association of Governments to identify opportunities to reconnect communities by removing, retrofitting, or mitigating transportation facilities — such as highways or railways that create barriers to community connectivity including mobility, access, or economic development — and offering a path for communities to reknit to better fit the context of their surroundings and serves all people.
