As an Independent Technical Evaluator, our core responsibility is to provide technical assurance of business cases seeking funding for schemes. These schemes cover a wide range of policy areas including, transport, skills, enterprise zones, housing and commercial development, and environmental mitigation.

Working together with East Architects, Steer prepared a funding bid to Transport for London (TfL). Our bid set out a coherent and compelling case for the scheme and was successful in securing £8m of TfL funding.

Steer was commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to assess driver behaviour at junctions where continuous footways had been installed in London. A continuous footway refers to a priority junction at which the footway parallel to the major road continues uninterrupted at the same grade and with the same surface.

Steer has worked with Transport for London and Canary Wharf Group since 1988 undertaking the Isle of Dogs Cordon Survey - a count of all movements of people to, from and within the Isle of Dogs, as well as the Canary Wharf cordon within it.

In 2014, Steer was appointed to conduct baseline surveys of “Mayor’s Vision” routes across London, and subsequent one-year and three-year after surveys on completion of the routes.

The purpose of this project was to develop a cycling infrastructure plan for Oxfordshire County Council, setting out the schemes needed to complete and connect the city's existing cycle network by 2020 and identify more ambitious schemes for implementation by 2035, or sooner if funding becomes available.

The City of Westminster first introduced a walking strategy in 2004. With a growing population and forthcoming major schemes such as Crossrail and Crossrail 2, the number of people walking on Westminster’s streets is set to increase further.

As London's population is expected to continue to grow so is consumer demand for goods and services including online purchasing. This, in turn, has generated the need for greater management of delivery and servicing trips across the city to minimise externalities such as congestion and emissions.

The London Borough of Waltham Forest was successful in its bid to the Mayor of London for £30m funding to set up a ‘mini-Holland’ programme. This comprised a range of walking and cycling improvements across the borough.
