Transforming Transport Conference - Westminster Insight

Attend Westminster Insight’s Transforming Transport Conference in February to explore the strategic priorities for UK transport and understand the future direction of travel for public and local transport services.

The new Labour Government has promised to deliver the biggest overhaul to transport for passengers in a generation, with a transport network that is efficient, affordable, accessible, integrated and environmentally sustainable. As the new government begins to implement its legislative agenda, we will share updates on the reforms, including policy and funding considerations, and timescales for implementation.

With a focus on public and local transport networks, a diverse line up of experts from across government and the transport sector will focus on preparing for change in the following areas:

  • Rail reform
  • The Better Buses Bill
  • Integrated transport systems
  • Reducing car use and active travel

We will hear about the challenges and opportunities for developing seamless interconnected transport systems. With a new emphasis on public ownership and local control, we will share best practice and innovative solutions for improving accountability and enhancing the passenger experience. We will explore how strategic transport planning at a local level can support sustainable travel and decarbonisation goals.

This is a vital time for the transport sector come together to tackle the changes ahead. Don’t miss your chance to network with colleagues and receive timely updates from expert speakers from across the UK.
