Egis, a global leader in architecture, consulting, construction engineering and mobility services has been awarded a contract by the Ministry of Transport of Qatar to develop the Qatar Public Transport Master Plan. This strategic initiative is a cornerstone in Qatar's ongoing commitment to enhancing its urban mobility infrastructure and aligning with its national vision for a sustainable, future-ready society.
The project will focus on developing a comprehensive blueprint for Qatar's public transport network, encapsulating everything from data-driven analysis to the creation of innovative scenarios that will lay the foundation for efficient and sustainable urban mobility. Egis' role will encompass the end-to-end development of the Master Plan, ensuring it is grounded in global best practices while remaining tailored to the unique needs of Qatar.
The Qatar Public Transport Master Plan will be delivered through a multi-phased approach that includes:
- Collection and review of existing public transport regimes to understand current mobility trends.
- Data collection, surveys, and analysis to provide a solid empirical foundation for policy recommendations.
- Comprehensive assessment of current and future mobility conditions, allowing for policy development that anticipates growth and challenges.
- Scenario development and scheme assessments that explore innovative and sustainable transport solutions.
- Finalization of the Public Transport Master Plan, providing a clear roadmap for the future of transport in Qatar
Egis will also leverage its vast experience in implementing state-of-the-art engineering software packages and third-party expertise to ensure world-class execution at each stage of the project. The scope of services further extends to international consultations and high-level surveys, ensuring that Qatar's transport future is benchmarked against leading global cities.
Reflecting on the significance of this project, Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, Regional Director – Mobility and Planning, Egis, commented, 'This project forms a key component of Qatar's broader ambitions under the Qatar National Vision 2030, which emphasizes sustainable development and the creation of an advanced infrastructure that supports economic diversification. As we embark on this ambitious journey, we are laying the groundwork for the realisation of this vision - a dynamic future, where sustainable, smart, and inclusive mobility is the lifeblood of urban development. Egis is honored to work with the Ministry of Transport and contribute our expertise to a project that will reshape how people move and live, building a resilient framework for tomorrow's Qatar.'
This project further solidifies Egis' position as a leader in the Middle East's evolving transport and infrastructure landscape. With a proven track record of delivering pioneering urban transport solutions, including the recent contract awarded by the Ministry of Transport to develop the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Policy and Strategy, Egis is well-positioned to contribute to the long-term success of Qatar's transportation agenda.
