Crank

Crank delivers innovative transport projects focused on people and the planet.

We manage projects that change streets, but also help shift the conversations people have about transport and run events and programmes to expand the choices people have.

Crank is a consultancy that provides services and apps in Project Management, Communication, and Events.

Changing streets

Project Management, with heart.

We lead diverse teams of Council staff, consultants, and community partners to deliver projects to make streets better for people and the planet.

Our mission is to accelerate a shift to sustainable urban mobility. This commitment shows up in the innovation, energy and grit we bring to projects.

Shifting conversations

Communication & Engagement, led by listening.

Successfully transforming streets requires meaningfully engaging with the people who use them - before, during, and after the change.
‍
Our approaches to Communication & Engagement are based on listening first, then helping build a shared understanding between communities and project teams.

Expanding choices

Events & programmes to get people moving.

We have team members with origins in grassroots community events and programmes that have attracted hundreds of of people, and we bring that thinking to our Event Strategy & Delivery and Walking & Cycling Programmes.
Well-timed, targeted events smooth the ground for changing streets and build excitement and demand during project planning and installation.

Rethinking approaches

Process guidance to scale impact.

At Crank, to scale our impact, we look to create knowledge that can inform projects we might never have a hand in delivering. This can include detailed lessons learnt for our clients, or guidance for the whole industry.
We love delivering projects that transform individual streets, but believe there is a need to change the way we all get around so it is better for people and the planet.

A Vision of Kids for Transport

A Vision of Kids for Transport is the result of workshops in 12 schools across Tāmaki Makaurau, with 181 student participants aged 6 to 11. Focusing on transport, we talked about their neighbourhoods now, how they get around, what they enjoy, and their hopes and expectations for the future.

Four key themes are supported by photos, quotes and artwork from the young participants, as well as key data and insights. Overall, the findings show the direction of change in how we move through our neighbourhoods and city that the up-and-coming generation desires.
