User Behaviour Forum

Fully understanding how users interact with transport systems is more crucial than ever. Increasing use of data and insights into the future of travel and, more specifically, the integral role of the individual user have the potential to radically change the way we manage, operate and plan our transport systems.

We have some excellent and forward thinking speakers, DfT Chief Scientific Advisor Sarah Sharples, Department of Transport, Mark Collins, Head of Future Transport at Transport for West Midlands and Sunil Budhdeo, Transport Innovation Manager at Coventry City Council.

For the second half of the event, we plan to run a workshop incorporating to provide you the opportunity to have key conversations around these topics and share your ideas.  

We expect this to be a highly popular session, so book now to avoid disappointment!
