WSP’s Intelligent Infrastructure discipline works across a wide range of transport and mobility clients (and beyond). While the fundamental goals of the transport system remain unchanged, helping people and goods move efficiently, the drivers influencing the system continue to evolve. Priorities around carbon reduction (net zero), climate resilience, safety and security (zero harm), digitisation, changing customer expectations, and doing more with less (efficiency) are now front and centre.
