Transportation consultant D’Artgnan Consulting has been awarded major contracts in the US and Australia.

In the US, the 923 California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has awarded Cambria Solutions (Cambria), in conjunction with 6219 D’Artagnan Consulting and 4843 CH2M Hill (the Cambria Team) a mileage-based user fee (MBUF) study to provide information and recommendations for the purpose of piloting a MBUF concept in the state.

D’Artagnan Consulting, which has experience in planning as well as implementing MBUF/RUC pilots at local and state levels, will provide its senior consultants, including several nationally and internationally recognised road usage charging (RUC) experts. Its hands-on experience with MBUF/RUC concepts, coupled with experience in developing and implementing best practice solutions for road pricing, will contribute to the success of the project.

In Melbourne, Australia, D’Artagnan Consulting will be part of the 2241 Ernst & Young (E&Y) team, comprising Ernst & Young, SGS Economics & Planning and D’Artagnan Consulting. The team has been awarded a commercial and financial advisory services contract awarded by the Victorian Government’s Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure (DTPLI) for the East-West Link Western Section business case.

The East-West Link is said to be the largest program of transport infrastructure in the State’s history. The E&Y team will be developing a business case that will steer DTPLI through the complex financial, commercial, procurement and implementation landscape of the project.

D’Artagnan Consulting will be supporting the narrative for the development of toll roads, cost estimating and technical inputs while bringing best practices from an international tolling perspective to the business case.
