TRT TRASPORTI E TERRITORIO SRL

Their core work

TRT is a Milan-based transport planning and policy consultancy that advises cities, regions, and EU institutions on urban mobility, accessibility, and infrastructure financing. They specialize in analyzing how people move through cities and designing strategies to make transport more equitable, efficient, and sustainable. Their work spans from high-level policy frameworks (sustainable urban mobility plans, vehicle access regulations) down to practical tools like Mobility-as-a-Service platforms and cognitive logistics systems. They bridge the gap between transport research and real-world urban implementation.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

TRT's early H2020 work (2014-2017) focused on traditional transport planning concerns: infrastructure financing (BENEFIT), supply chain logistics (U-TURN), and sustainable mobility plans (Prosperity). From 2017 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward social dimensions of mobility — transport poverty, accessibility, inclusion, and social innovation — culminating in their coordinator role on HiReach. Their most recent projects (2019-2023) show a further pivot toward urban access regulation, zero-emission zones, and advanced planning tools integrating autonomous vehicles and drones.

TRT is moving toward the human and regulatory side of urban mobility — expect them to pursue projects on zero-emission zones, transport justice, and digitally-enabled mobility governance.

How they like to work

TRT operates predominantly as a contributing partner (10 of 11 projects), with one coordinator role on HiReach — their flagship project on transport poverty. With 124 unique partners across 27 countries, they maintain a broad European network rather than relying on a small set of repeat collaborators. This pattern suggests a flexible consultancy that adapts to different consortium needs, bringing transport planning expertise to diverse project teams rather than anchoring large-scale research agendas.

TRT has built an extensive network of 124 unique consortium partners spanning 27 countries, making them one of the better-connected transport SMEs in H2020. Their network density reflects strong ties across Western and Southern Europe, with deep involvement in the CIVITAS community and Shift2Rail ecosystem.

What sets them apart

TRT stands out as a private transport consultancy that combines hard technical planning skills (modelling, spatial analysis, infrastructure assessment) with a strong social equity lens — a rare combination in the sector. Their HiReach coordination demonstrates they can lead projects, not just contribute, and their breadth across 11 projects covering everything from freight logistics to transport poverty gives them unusual versatility. For consortium builders, TRT offers a Milan-based partner who can handle both the analytical backbone and the policy translation of urban mobility research.

Highlights from their portfolio
