Sustainable Mobility in Tbilisi, Georgia

BRTPlan has been working in Tbilisi, Georgia on behalf of the Asian Development Bank since 2018 on a variety of initiatives, including managing the development of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), developing an on- and off-street parking management system, and overseeing a large-scale data collection program.

BRTPlan wrote a Terms of Reference (ToR) for the conceptual design of two bus priority corridors in Yerevan, Armenia. We are currently managing the outputs of the project on behalf of the Asian Development Bank.

BRTPlan is wrote the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the development of a BRT conceptual design in Ulaanbaatar and is currently overseeing the development of the operational and conceptual  design on behalf of the Asian Development Bank.

BRTPlan developed the operational plan and conceptual design for TransPeshawar Phase 2 and developed the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the detailed engineering design phase of the project.

BRTPlan was brought in by the KfW Development Bank to review the Durban BRT to prepare loan preparation documentation, including an economic and financial analysis of the proposed BRT network in Durban, South Africa.

BRTPlan served as a "critical friend" on behalf of Transport for West Midlands, to review the design of the "Sprint" BRT system. We proposed a handful of site-specific design changes, as well as a detailed integration between the BRT and local bus routes.

 BRTPlan reviewed the proposed BaltimoreLink bus network redesign on behalf of the Amalgamated Transit Union and proposed changes that would better serve Baltimoreans. We also conceptualized BRT infrastructure in Baltimore for what ultimately became "A People's Alternative to BaltimoreLink" 

BRTPlan developed a new set of business parameters for the second phase of Cape Town's MyCiti BRT which included basic approaches to service planning and contract structures that will govern the roll-out of Phase II in the coming years. We also performed a capacity analysis for one BRT station in the city centre which experiences high bus and passenger volumes.

BRTPlan worked with Citi Bike to develop an integration concept within the New York City bus network in order to give both systems' users freedom and flexibility.

BRTPlan was hired by ITDP China for the Asian Development Bank to prepare a citywide business plan for the upcoming BRT system. We looked at which elements of the system should be contracted out and developed a transition plan for bringing the jeepney operators into the operations of the BRT system.

BRTPlan was hired by first WRI and then the World Bank to oversee a restructuring of the SITP bus routes to better integrate with theTransMilenio BRT system. 

BRTPlan is optimizing the service plan for the BRT in Amman, Jordan, making it a state-of-the-art Third Generation BRT. We are also playing a role in the development of the business model and tendering of BRT operations. 

BRTPlan was contracted by SSH in Iceland to assist the government in preparing the conceptual design of the Borgarlína BRT, ensuring the highest-quality BRT for Reykjavík and surrounding communities. We also worked with Straeto, the regional bus operator to integrate their planned bus network redesign with the planned Borgarlína corridors.

BRTPlan was brought in by the City of Kirkland to lead the conceptual design of two BRT corridors with the aim of including them in the Sound Transit 3 (ST3) package. We developed  a shared bike-BRT-only corridor, as well as a design for full BRT into Downtown Kirkland. We also redesigned the bus network to make best use of the new BRT corridors.

BRTPlan was brought in by Swedfund, in cooperation with Ramboll Sweden, to develop a modern, model bus company in Yangon. We analyzed the existing bus companies and developed a business model to bring 1-2 of them under government contract to ensure greater quality-of-service. We built service plans and financial models to ensure the financial sustainability of the companies. 

On behalf of UN-Habitat, BRTPlan developed a pre-feasibility plan for BRT in Bogor. We undertook a corridor selection, developed a Third-Generation BRT service plan around the corridors, and laid out the process for transitioning the informal Angkot bus operators into operators of the new BRT system.

BRTPlan managed the conceptual design, business and operational planning for the Vientiane Sustainable Urban Transportation Project (VSUTP) on behalf of the European Investment Bank and the Asian Development Bank. The project includes a BRT as its centerpiece, with additional components for on- and off-street parking management, e-pedicab procurement and operations, and NMT connections.
