Rail & Infrastructure

Demand for public transport is growing as a result of congestion and environmental concern. Furthermore, operators have limited infrastructure capacity, and thus have difficulty meeting this demand. Public transport competes with roads for investment funds, and planning processes mean that transport infrastructure projects take a long time to deliver. PwC helps the key players to meet these challenges. Our work includes:

• Advising public sector organisations on business case analysis, financing and procurement of public transport and road infrastructure
• Helping private sector sponsors raise finance for infrastructure
• Developing charging mechanisms for roads and rail
• Developing strategy and business plans and managing change in transport organisations including the transition from public to private sector
• Improving efficiency in transport operations by optimising maintenance practices and implementing quality management systems
• Advising on the acquisition and sale of transport businesses and assets
• Assisting in managing and resolving disputes in complex capital projects
• Harnessing transport investment as a trigger for economic development and regeneration
