JACOBS PROVIDING STRATEGIC POLICY
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO TRANSPORT FOR LONDON
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 company employs 54,000 people and operates in more than 25
countries around the world. For more information, visit
