The multi-million pound investment programme was first revealed in the Glasgow Connectivity Commission report in 2019 and has since been adopted in the Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review .
Mott McDonald has been engaged by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport to carry out two packages of work.
Stage one will “evaluate Clyde Metro’s potential impacts, benefits, and alignment with national and regional transport strategies”.
Stage two will “develop the preliminary engineering statement, which will outline the technical and engineering requirements for Clyde Metro”.
The firm said Clyde Metro has the potential to benefit Glasgow and Scotland.
Graeme Smith, managing director for transport and mobility solutions UK & Europe said: "Having worked on Clyde Metro from its early stages, it’s clear that it has the potential to provide tremendous benefits, not only the Glasgow City Region, but for Scotland as a whole. Our Glasgow-based team, supported by the wider UK business, is excited to continue the journey with SPT and its partners; leading the way in making the case for investment in this generationally significant project.
SPT said the latest work will examine the options in greater detail.
Bruce Kiloh, Head of policy and planning. said: “We are delighted to appoint Mott MacDonald, alongside Stantec, to support to SPT and Clyde Metro project partners as we look to progress this next crucial stage of Clyde Metro’s case for investment.
“The appointment for these commissions will build upon the earlier success of the case for investment, and we look forward to continuing to work with Mott MacDonald to examine Clyde Metro network and mode options in more detail, ensuring we develop a robust business case for this ambitious transformational mass transit project for the Glasgow City Region”.
