Transport

KPMG’s UK practice applies market leading understanding of the policy, commercial and operational drivers across the transport sector.

The UK transport sector faces both significant challenges and major opportunities. Post-COVID-19 reduced demand is putting public and private sector balance sheets under pressure. The Government and operators need to work together to plot their way back to a “new normal.” Opportunities include; new technologies for smart ticketing, network optimisation and helping achieve “Net Zero” carbon emissions for transport. The sector is also critical to the Government’s efforts to kick-start the economy by accelerating the delivery of new road and rail infrastructure.

KPMG has a market-leading understanding of the policy, commercial and operational drivers across the transport sector. We stand ready to assist our clients in working through both current and emerging issues.
