Transport Planner

A Transport Planner develops and implements transport strategies to improve efficiency, safety, and accessibility across various transport systems. You might work for government agencies, consultancy firms, or private companies. Transport Planners analyse data, forecast transport trends, and design solutions to address traffic congestion, public transport needs, and environmental impacts. You’ll create plans and policies that guide the development of infrastructure projects, ensuring they meet community needs and regulatory standards.

Transport Planners play a crucial role in shaping sustainable and effective transport systems. You’ll need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate with engineers, urban planners, and stakeholders to deliver practical solutions that enhance mobility and quality of life.
