Company will lead integrated transportation
planning, create sustainable strategies
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been awarded
several contracts to support the National Transport Authority (NTA)
in Ireland as part of the NTA’s strategy to develop greater use of
sustainable transportation options. The NTA has re-appointed Jacobs
to provide transport modeling expertise for an additional three
years to support development of an integrated transportation
system. Other contracts include supporting Cork City and County
Councils with the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy and
providing transport planning services to assist with the re-design
of the bus network within the Greater Dublin area.
Over the last four years Jacobs has worked collaboratively with
the NTA to develop a cutting-edge, regional modeling system that
incorporates five multi-modal transport models that serve all of
Ireland. The models are used to assess transport policies and plans
that have a local and/or national impact. The system includes a
national demand model and an innovative appraisal toolkit to better
evaluate programs and policy interventions.
“Jacobs has a long-standing relationship with the NTA in
supporting Ireland’s sustainable transportation priorities,” said
Jacobs Buildings and Infrastructure Senior Vice President Bob Duff.
“The delivery of a multi-modal modeling system of this scale and
complexity is helping NTA appraise proposed transport programs at
both macro and micro levels and is a pre-requisite to creating
effective transportation strategies.”
The role of the NTA is to develop greater use of sustainable
modes of transportation across Ireland in support of government
policies and priorities.
Jacobs delivers major transportation projects around the world
supporting clients with a range of capabilities from transport
planning and modeling, intelligent mobility, connected vehicle and
environmental solutions through to whole project life cycle road
infrastructure projects.
