Expertise: Public & Stakeholder Consultation
Stakeholder consultation is becoming a cornerstone in the development and evaluation of transport policies and strategies. Done well, it ensures that all stakeholders have an opportunity to influence the planning process, and it can create a feeling of scheme ownership among the local population.
Public and stakeholder consultation is a major strand of TTR work. We have extensive experience in consultation using one-to-one interviews, hall events, focus groups and quantitative market research surveys. Our consultation work ranges from strategic planning assignments to more localised schemes. We regularly undertake consultation with a variety of stakeholder groups.
Over the years we have developed the following skills which are key to successful consultation:
- Listening to people
- Identifying their needs
- Building consensus
- Engendering ownership of schemes
We can provide the following services:
- Setting up links with stakeholder organisations
- Developing networks
- Consultation planning
- Survey design and analysis
- Organising workshops, hall events, focus groups and one-to-one surveys
- Full assessment and recommendations
