Legal delays to transport projects now cost up to £121 million per scheme.
Is poor stakeholder engagement making yours vulnerable?
Transport projects touch people where they live. When communities don't feel genuinely heard, they don't stay quiet; they object, organise, and challenge. The projects that stall aren't always the most controversial ones, they're the ones that couldn't evidence their engagement.
Tractivity helps transport teams manage every stakeholder, track every concern, and build the kind of engagement record that keeps schemes moving and communities on side.

Trusted by UK transport organisations









Tractivity is built to manage stakeholder engagement at scale in transport environments
Tractivity is a structured, auditable platform that captures, manages and reports interactions between transport organisations and their stakeholders – including local residents, businesses, commuters, landowners, statutory consultees, elected representatives and community groups.
In transport settings, engagement activity may influence planning decisions, service changes, construction programmes and community relations. Engagement records must therefore be complete, traceable and defensible.
- A complete audit trail of engagement activity
- Multi-project coordination and visibility
- Structured workflows for consultation and issue tracking
- Centralised stakeholder records across teams and projects
- Reporting aligned to planning and governance requirements

Why transport organisations need specialist stakeholder management software
Transport stakeholder engagement is uniquely complex.
Organisations must often manage:
- Multiple simultaneous infrastructure projects with overlapping communities
- Large volumes of interaction during consultation and construction phases
- Diverse stakeholder groups (residents, businesses, commuters, landowners, authorities)
- Long project lifecycles spanning years from planning to operation
- Public and political scrutiny requiring demonstrable engagement
CRMs and spreadsheets may capture contact data or interaction records, but they are not structured around multi-project programmes, planning consultation workflows or audit-ready reporting.
A specialist platform ensures that engagement is not fragmented across email, spreadsheets and disparate systems, reducing administrative burden and governance risk.

What does Tractivity provide for transport engagement?
Tractivity provides transport organisations with a secure and structured foundation for stakeholder engagement.
Tractivity is widely used by UK transport organisations, including names like Great Western Railway (GWR), CrossCountry Trains, Transport for the South East, England's Economic Heartland and the Road Haulage Association (RHA).
This breadth of use across train operating companies, metro operators, combined authorities and sub-national transport bodies reflects Tractivity's suitability for managing stakeholder engagement in complex, multi-stakeholder transport environments.
Case study: Midland Metro Alliance
The Midland Metro Alliance manages multiple light rail extension projects simultaneously across the West Midlands.
Using Tractivity, MMA:
- Managed over 2,500 stakeholder engagements across concurrent projects
- Centralised communication with residents, businesses, landowners and statutory consultees
- Tracked issues and sentiment during construction phases
- Generated audit-ready reports for planning and governance requirements
The platform enabled MMA to run multiple live projects without administrative confusion or stakeholder communication gaps, contributing to awards for Integration & Collaborative Working, Disruption Communications and Partnership of the Year.

Good value for money and good support from the tech team and account manager.
Lucy Dixon-Thompson
Transport for the South East
It was key for our project, before any work started, that our stakeholder engagement was done in a way that was effective and comprehensive and allowed us to engage thoroughly. Tractivity has been highly effective for us and we would not hesitate to recommend the system.
Rose Rees

We are very happy with the product. Tractivity being used at GWR will outlive my team and be considered a legacy project.

Yes. Transport organisations use Tractivity to segment stakeholders by proximity to works, send targeted notifications, capture complaints and track responses — maintaining a complete record of disruption management and community engagement.
Transport projects often span many years from planning through construction to operation. Tractivity maintains stakeholder records and engagement history across the full project lifecycle, ensuring continuity even as team members change
No. While it maintains stakeholder records, Tractivity is built specifically for stakeholder engagement, consultation management and multi-project coordination rather than sales or marketing workflows.
