Earlier this year the unique circumstances created by COVID-19 saw the Secretary of State for Transport actively discouraging commuters from using public transport. Social distancing and the requirement to wear a mask when travelling introduced further potential disincentives to the public when considering alternatives to the private car.
At the same time, the enforced shift to working from home for a large section of the workforce has reduced the volume of passengers using rush-hour buses, trains and underground services, perhaps permanently.
So what do these changes in travel patterns mean for transport planners, operators and local authorities charged with overseeing existing and future transport networks? How should more active modes of travel, such as walking and cycling, be better accommodated within busy urban environments? And how does all this impact on climate change and clean air commitments made by local and national governments?
This webinar will bring together experts to explore what ‘the new normal’ really means for sustainable travel in the UK’s cities and regions.
