Momentum Transport Consultancy

What Momentum Transport Consultancy does

Momentum Transport Consultancy is an integrated transport planning, analytics, and engineering consultancy founded in 2012 and headquartered in London, with additional offices in Bristol, Montreal, and Houston. The firm serves commercial developers, local authorities, architects and masterplanners, business improvement districts (BIDs), stadia and venue operators, and cultural institutions, delivering planning applications, transport impact assessments, pedestrian and crowd flow modelling, highway design, construction logistics, masterplanning, public realm design, and freight and micromobility strategy.

Its core technical stack combines conventional specialist simulation software (Legion for crowd flow, Synchro for traffic, GIS-based analytics, static and dynamic pedestrian modelling, and microsimulation) with two proprietary differentiators: an Annual Sustainability Impact Assessment Tool that quantifies net CO2e savings from consented schemes, and the DfT-funded Micromobility Planner data-driven suitability analysis tool. Recent investments include R&D outputs such as the Smart Carpet concept, which won a Smart Infrastructure Competition.

The company operates a project-based professional services revenue model, with fees negotiated per engagement and no publicly disclosed pricing. Customers include Landsec, Brookfield, Yoo Capital, Avison Young, Hatton Garden BID, the City of London, the City of Ottawa, OC Transpo, Montoni, the British Museum, The Ritz London, and the Kendall Heaton Architects-led Chase Center design team. GTM is largely enterprise field sales, supported by referrals, thought leadership (podcast, webinars, blog), industry events (UKREiiF), and a content/newsletter funnel.
