TRT Trasporti e Territorio

What TRT Trasporti e Territorio does

TRT Trasporti e Territorio is an independent Italian consultancy founded in 1992 and headquartered in Milan, with a secondary office in Brussels. The firm operates as a private limited company (Srl) with no parent organization, employing 11–50 staff across two subsidiaries — TRTIngegneria Srl and TRT Academy — and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Its core proposition is specialist advisory in transport economics, transport planning, and transport modeling, delivered primarily to public-sector and institutional clients.

The firm builds and applies proprietary analytical tools — notably MOMOS, ASTRA, and TRUST — to assess transport infrastructure investments, policy interventions, and mobility systems. Engagements span demand and revenue forecasting, cost-benefit and socio-economic analysis, regulatory impact assessment, and strategy advisory. Active project geographies include the European Union, the Western Balkans, and Africa (Djibouti, Mozambique, Cameroon, Ivory Coast), with client rosters drawn from Italian public administration (ministries, regions, municipalities), EU institutions (DG MOVE, European Parliament), international financial institutions (World Bank, EIB), transport operators, and private developers.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional-services contracts awarded via competitive tender and consortium participation in EU-funded research frameworks (e.g., Horizon Europe, EIT Urban Mobility). TRT complements advisory delivery with structured training through TRT Academy and pursues joint positioning with partners including Ricardo, PwC, ICLEI, TIS, DLR, Ecorys, and RiSE. In 2024 the firm received the Neil Mansfield Award at the European Transport Conference, signalling peer-recognised standing within the European transport-economics community.
