Service: Transport Appraisal

Transport appraisal fulfils a key role within the investment decision making process, objectively assessing if a proposed transport scheme meets societal need, fulfils strategic policy objectives and delivers value for money.

Our transport appraisal services underpin development of transport strategies and policies, and delivery of investment programmes and projects in accordance with national and international best practice such as:

  • Department of Transport’s Transport Appraisal Framework (TAF)
  • Department of Public Expenditure’s Infrastructure Guidelines (IG)
  • Transport Infrastructure Ireland’s Project Appraisal Guidance (TII PAG)
  • National Transport Authority’s Project Approval Guidance (NTA PAG)
  • European Commission’s Guide to Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects (EC CBA Guide) and Economic Appraisal Vademecum

Our expertise includes strategic assessment, options assessment, appraisal of transport schemes, and cost-benefit analysis using the full suite of industry standard packages (e.g. TUBA, COBALT, ENEVAL) and the NTA’s Appraisal Toolkit. In addition, our team also has extensive experience of developing bespoke economic and financial appraisal models and undertaking quantitative risk analysis to meet the needs of specific transport schemes.
