Monitoring & Evaluation
Our approach to monitoring and evaluation is to look at how data can be simply and cost-effectively captured through the delivery of your sustainable transport initiatives.
We enable a bottom-up evaluation of the outputs and outcomes of individual initiatives, while also capturing data which allows for robust estimates of the wider impacts of your programme, such as on health, car use and carbon saving.
We collate data from across all elements of your programme, and from all delivery teams, partners and suppliers; providing you with a holistic picture of what your programme has achieved.
We can help with:
- Developing a proportional, programme-wide monitoring strategy
- Advice on designing data collection in to the delivery of initiatives.
- Timely data collection
- Independent and impartial analysis of data
- Acting as an independent clearing-house for collection, collation and analysis of data from all programme partners.
- Producing authoritative yet easy-to-digest evaluation reports
