Testimonials

Thanks for your help in the early days of the project, it was really valuable in getting the scheme to where we are now.

James Hall
Transport for Greater Manchester

Working with CoMoUK provided valuable insights into shared mobility services that have helped us to better understand the potential market for car share and bike share programmes in our borough from a data-led perspective. Their analysis has been thought-provoking and helped to inform the continued development of our next Local Transport Plan. We appreciated their thorough approach and the practical input they offered.

The Feasibility Report looking at car clubs within Warwick District produced by CoMoUK is an excellent report and provides really useful context to the way forward for car clubs within the area. It has also been used as an example to potentially widen the study to a county level. The process of producing the report was seamless and professional with regular meetings with the same officers within the organisation to understand progress and provide the opportunity to ask relevant questions.

This commission has gone a long way towards creating order from chaos. The concept of a consolidated mobility offer for Birmingham felt, frankly, unreachable before this work began. The team have worked hard to bring specialist expertise and best practice to the fore to define a pragmatic approach to roll out mobility services in the city as part of a structured, partnership working arrangement. There is a lot more work to do from here, but this valuable output is already helping to frame the debate and advance the Council and its partners' thinking towards a more effective, long-term delivery model.

Martin Rowe
Birmingham City Council

I project manage the Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council’s bike share scheme and found advice and information from CoMoUK and its partners invaluable from the outset. In particular its great that CoMoUK have co-ordinated an industry standard for best practice for bike share - we have embedded this accreditation into our procurement process.

BCP’s bike share scheme is now the second largest in the country and this summer we will be adding a further 275 bikes to meet demand.

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council

CoMoUK are a great and reliable source of best practice in the UK transport sector, especially in the field of shared mobility. The organisation works to brings best practice and provides an excellent platform for networking with colleagues and practitioners in other local authorities. They offer reliable technical advice. As a ‘Critical Friend’ for Leicester’s planned bikes share scheme – Santander Cycles Leicester – we have been able to reflect, formulate proposals, make decisions and take forward options with confidence, despite the significant times of change for the world of shared transport, public access and social inclusion.

This is an excellent report, expertly written and exactly what I/we were seeking when it was commissioned only a few months ago. I am impressed by its thoroughness, its relevance to Luton and how focused it is. This represents superb value for money.

Antony Swift

In the rapidly changing world of shared mobility, the advice and expertise of CoMoUK has been invaluable. In particular, the car club accreditation scheme helps reduce the burden on council officers, and annual surveys provide much-needed data to better understand the impacts of and demand for shared transport.
