Integrated Impact Assessment for revised London Mayor’s Transport
Strategy
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been awarded a two-year
contract by Transport
for London (TfL) to provide integrated impact assessment (IIA)
services to support development and finalization of the revised Mayor’s
Transport Strategy (MTS) for London, United Kingdom.
The MTS is one of the key plans for the incoming Mayor of London to
establish its refreshed policy framework and strategic direction for
London's transport to meet projected economic and population growth. TfL
is responsible for most aspects of London’s transport system.
Jacobs is providing assessment of the potential environmental, health,
equality and economic impacts of the proposed new strategy, including
specific topics such as community safety.
“The MTS is a central part of London’s preparation to support
sustainable growth across the capital,” said Jacobs Buildings and
Infrastructure Senior Vice President Bob Duff. “We’re delighted to work
alongside the TfL and Mayoral teams at the forefront of the strategy’s
development in assessing, consulting on and finalizing the MTS.”
The award enables a continuation of the relationship Jacobs established
with the TfL team during delivery of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)
IIA in 2014 and 2015. As well as strategic policy development and
support, Jacobs delivers a range of rail engineering, highways design,
environmental services and transport planning and modeling services to
TfL within London.
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers of
full-spectrum technical, professional and construction services for
industrial, commercial and government organizations globally. The
