Jacobs has nearly 60 years of transport planning experience, with over 1,000 skilled transport planners within our approximately 55,000 strong global talent force, $2.5B in client savings and 23.8M metric tonnes C02 emissions avoided for clients, together, we’re pushing the limits of what’s possible.
 

Velocity builds on this experience, aligning its capabilities to the challenges of the sector, whilst providing you with the support and guidance you need to undertake your Active Mode planning with confidence.

The challenge

Over the past year, cycling numbers have doubled in many countries around the world and will continue to grow as society moves towards net-zero.

As a society, our infrastructure hasn’t kept up, and nor have our approaches.

Are you a local authority under pressure to:

  • Improve cycling infrastructure and safety?
  • Identify where new facilities are required?
  • Prioritize plans for investment, despite a lack of clear data?
  • Secure funding to deliver on your ambitions, in ever-shorter time frames?

Our solution

Created with you in mind, Velocity, our intelligent digital platform, enables you to develop successful cycling and walking plans, quickly, confidently, and efficiently.

With Velocity, you can design and deliver next generation bike routes to meet the transport needs of today and the challenges of tomorrow.
