Our thinking

Momentum is an integrated transport consultancy. Momentum facilitates sustainable mobility by placing humans at the heart of designing tomorrow’s places.

The way the world moves…

Our aim is that communities across Canada benefit from our strategies and the recommendations we make. We work closely with clients and industry partners – from municipalities, architects, planners to developers and touristic destinations – to create forward-looking solutions that address the needs of the future city and the sustainability of the built environment. People are always at the centre of our work.

By design.

Everything we do is carefully and diligently designed by our team of engineers, designers and analysts to create transport solutions that inform and integrate with every aspect of the built environment today and for the future. We consider the way the world moves – on foot, bus, train, car or plane – to deliver a compelling future for our clients.

Our beliefs

Our expertise

Our expertise, based on project experience, allows us to develop useful responses for our future clients and partners to ensure the long-term spatial efficiency of buildings, that transport is integrated in urban design and that the pedestrian and the individual are at the heart of the new spaces developed in cities.

Complex urban environments

We have developed our reputation delivering solutions in dense urban environments, working on constrained, dense and mixed-use developments where a wide range of factors need to be considered.

People focused

We are a people-focused transport consultancy, with an emphasis on providing solutions designed to improve the lives of the people and communities who will use them. This includes championing the move away from car dominated spaces, designing for pedestrians and cyclists.

Progressive

Our progressive team is at the forefront of latest practices and technologies in our industry and are always looking to bring this thinking to bear in our work.

Operations experts

As well as planning and design, we are experts in operations and operational planning, ensuring that we consider the full life cycle of our solutions from the outset.

Partnership

We work hand in hand with our partners and clients, ranging from city planning authorities, architects, engineers, urban planners, landscape architects, developers and joint ventures, to develop sustainable transport strategies for their schemes.

Independent and integrated

As an independent consultancy, we pride ourselves on giving creative, independent advice to our clients. Our team is truly integrated, with our planners, designers and analysts working closely together to provide solutions which are both forward-thinking and grounded in the real world.

Sustainability

The transport sector is the second-largest source of carbon emissions worldwide. We recognise that the traditional “business as usual” approach to transport planning is inadequate in the context of the climate change emergency facing the modern world. We are passionate about sustainability and the creation of healthier places for communities. We are experts in helping our clients to deliver more environmentally responsible outcomes for their projects while enhancing connectivity.

ISO 14001:2015

We are proud that our UK company holds ISO 14001:2015 certification for our Environmental Management System. Our practices in Canada align with our global practices, and the ISO Standards.

Diversity in our team

We are responsible for designing and building cities and towns for people – regardless of their age, physical ability or disability, gender or sexual orientation. We believe we can only do this successfully if our team is made up of people from diverse backgrounds.

We work hard to improve career opportunities for under-represented groups. Women make up 40% of our global team and we employ people from a wide range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

Recognition

We have been recognized by industry communities Women in Transport and everywoman for our active commitment to advancing the progress of women working in transport and logistics.
