From transport policy to action

Make your ideas tangible. Keep more time for the people affected by them.

Verkana connects policy, analysis, design and implementation. We automate recurring transport planning work so you have more time to weigh up choices, explain them and move forward together. Start with Sketch and make your proposal visible.

Directly in your browser, with no installation.

Our vision

Make every step build on the last

A better street starts with an ambition: safer roads, better access or more space for people walking and cycling. We want to connect that ambition to insights, a concrete design and implementation on the street. Knowledge moves with you to the next step, with less work to repeat.

Sketch makes that connection tangible: turn an idea into a design you can look at, adapt and discuss together. Your expertise and the people who use the street stay at the centre.

Concept illustration of connected steps: studying a location, understanding traffic, designing a change and putting it into practice.
Our vision: from a transport policy question to a concrete result on the street.
