Data Collection and Research
Scientific and social research provides the evidence that enables policy-makers to make informed decisions about which policies they implement, and how they implement them. The pre-requisite for evidence-based policy is high quality data and robust analysis. MP Smarter Travel offers clients an independent research service, staffed by experienced consultants, analysts and statisticians who provide clear evidence-based answers to policy questions.
