Transport

Through its property consultancy business, Capita Symonds, Capita is one of the UK’s leading transport and infrastructure consultancies. 

We offer a wide range of services such as highway and tunnel infrastructure design and refurbishment, road user pricing, intelligent transport systems, rail engineering and project management, and transport planning.

The Government plans to inject an extra £1bn in major transport projects in 2009. This investment, intended to help stimulate the economy, will be spent on road and rail schemes. It supplements the overall £10bn for 2009 to 2014 pledged in 2007 to increase rail capacity. Other major long term rail projects include London's Crossrail, the £5.5bn Thameslink programme and an additional £600m to tackle congestion.

Drivers for outsourcing include:

  • Increasing pressure on local government budgets and focus on delivering projects efficiently
  • Government bringing forward large infrastructure projects to create and support employment, counter the economic downturn and foster economic and social regeneration
  • Continued focus on reducing urban congestion
  • Requirement to reduce transport's long term impact on climate change and improve the industry’s environmental performance
  • Increased focus on national infrastructure by agencies delivering national security and resilience strategies
  • Institutions looking for help in defining strategies to manage better their distressed property debt books.
