Decarbonising transport

Featured Solutions People Sectors Services Projects Insights

Net Zero transport action

WSP has committed to halving the carbon footprint of our designs and advice by 2030 in Australia, and we are eager to assist the transport sector in addressing the challenges of decarbonisation. Transport is Australia’s second largest source of carbon emissions, and this puts the sector in a position to influence positive change, by rethinking how we plan, manage, design and build our cities and transport systems.

Decarbonising UK Transport

The Department for Transport’s Transport Decarbonisation Plan elevates the decarbonisation of our transport system to the forefront of the United Kingdom’s plan to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

Carb0nise – A Digital tool

Carb0nise is a #NetZero Revit tool created by WSP helping engineers and decision makers to quantify the embodied carbon of a construction project and make choices that reduces the embodied carbon of their designs.

Zero Emission Vehicles

Cities around the world are being hit with record levels of smog and congestion from fossil fuel-based transportation. WSP’s experts are helping the adoption of zero emission vehicles in battery electric bus fleets.

Modern Methods of Construction

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) provides a safer, more efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional construction methods. With digital technologies at its core, it aims to improve the way we build.

Exploring opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Victoria

WSP supported Infrastructure Victoria to advise the Victorian Government on how policies, guidelines and procedures can be updated to incorporate carbon emissions in infrastructure decision making.

Clean, quiet and zero emissions – the future of buses in NSW

Transport for NSW has set an ambitious timeline to transition to net zero technology. WSP are supporting Transport for New South Wales in plans to transition more than 8,000 buses to zero emission vehicles.

Parramatta light rail

Parramatta Light Rail is one of the NSW Government’s latest infrastructure projects being delivered to serve a growing Sydney. Light rail will create new communities, connect great places and help both locals and visitors explore what the region has to offer.

Future Ready kerbside: Creating places that put people first

Uber and WSP have partnered to release a new white paper – Future Ready Kerbside – which examines what we need to do today to ensure our kerbsides and streetscapes enable the places people want now and into the future.

Reimagining movement and place

To decarbonise transport, land use planning and the transport industry must work together

Rail Decarbonisation: Strategic Pivot

Rail holds promising potential to lead the transportation sector onto a sustainable route to counter global warming. Rail transport is efficient, so how can rail lead the transportation sector onto a sustainable route?

Rail Decarbonisation: An Ecosystem Perspective

Sustainable development requires sectors and industries to reduce and ultimately eliminate carbon dioxide emissions. If rail is already relatively clean, why is it important to address its carbon footprint?

Decarbonising Rail: Thinking Beyond Electrification

Frustration at a perceived lack of progress as the clock ticks down towards the UK’s legislated net zero targets has created an unprecedented sense of urgency to decarbonise our railway.
