“For any transport project/question, staff in the GCC transport unit have found using Podaris really helpful for route examination and quickly getting Excel sheets full of data. Previously we had no system in place to generate this information up to date i.e. monthly accurate figures/routes.”
- Gloucestershire County Council

Powerful, cost-effective and scalable tools

Podaris:Plan
Podaris offers a cost-effective, scalable solution for creating transport and development scenarios in minutes. Its powerful analytical tools help LTAs understand the costs and benefits associated with their public transport networks in a fraction of the time taken by traditional tools.

Podaris saves time and money when:
  • Planning a bus route or modifying an existing line or service
  • Analysing transport interventions as part of the wider multi-modal context
  • Suggesting specific section 106 contributions as a response to development proposals
  • Understanding the impact of development plans on mode choice and active travel

Understand & optimise your network

Podaris:Engage - a presentational window into your projects
Podaris has been used by LTAs and transport providers across the UK to analyse and optimise their existing transport networks and support Bus Network Reviews and Bus Service Improvement Plans.

As an invaluable toolkit for exploring the viability of services and surfacing the impact of alterations, Podaris helps users scrutinise routes in detail with a wide variety of tools. Corridor analysis, fare strategy modelling and catchment analysis can all be performed in a fraction of the time taken by more traditional GIS applications.

Gather community feedback and buy-in

Collaboration with Podaris
Podaris unites planning and consultation on a single platform, and brings stakeholder engagement into the digital age with its integrated Engage tool. Engage helps to secure buy-in, promote transparency and foster public support by showcasing interactive network plans and scenarios on an easy to navigate interface.

As an online application with no barriers to entry, Engage promotes inclusivity, and encourages open and democratic participation by allowing non-technical stakeholders to share their views as pinned comments on your maps.

Supporting Bus Service Improvement Plans (BSIPs)

Podaris:Engage - a presentational window into your projects
Podaris has been instrumental in the development of BSIPs for Local Authorities within England, securing millions of pounds in funding for improvements to services.

It provides powerful cloud-based tools for planning and analysis, empowering you to derive insights from your existing network, compare the impact of proposed changes in terms of cost, service frequency, accessibility and a number of other metrics, and share your outputs as high-quality visualisations.
