ECC012 - Transport modelling refresh

Description

Middlesbrough Council is looking to make a number of strategic highway improvements along major transport corridors in the Borough; ensuring that the infrastructure in place is accounting for the demands of the population. This is particularly pertinent given the Council's ambitions to increase the number of homes in the south and west of the Borough, growing the local economy and regenerating the town, given the likely changes in transport following the COVID 19 pandemic implications. To achieve this, transport and traffic modelling must be undertaken, to identify the most valid solutions without detrimentally impacting upon the transport network as a whole. The software, technical capabilities and resourcing required to undertake this task is not available within the local authority, and a consultant is therefore required to undertake this task.
