Regulatory & competition advice

To improve transportation services, governments are exploring privatization, Public Private Partnerships (P3s) and better monitoring of delivery to incentivize and reward good performance. Governments, regulators and the transportation industry require advice on how to design, introduce, operate and modify new regulatory approaches.

Our work combines an understanding of economics, markets and the use of price signals, with our detailed knowledge of how individual transportation industries and markets are structured. We use this technical knowledge to diagnose where and how markets can better be regulated to deliver services to customers.

We advise globally, drawing on our team’s experience of market opening and regulation since the beginning of the 1990s. We have watched the effects of liberalization, regulation and competition in the transportation sectors including aviation, railways, buses, ferries and fixed transportation links. Our core economic skills are supported by complementary experience in technical regulation, research, consultation, and operational and financial modeling.
