Lunchtime Session with 2023 TPS Bursary Finalists

Join us for this lunchtime session with our 2023 TPS Bursary Finalists, hot on the heels of their presentations to the judging panel, and announcement of the winner at the 2024 AGM. Gather inspiration from these four transport planners and their fascinating approaches to tackling the 2023 Bursary Paper Question.

Last year we asked our bursarians to write a paper answering the question: ‘Investigate a transport intervention that has been shown to reduce environmental damage. How did it interact with poverty / social exclusion? How transferrable is that solution for other places/problems?'

In response to this topic, we received four very different entries to the competition:

·       Greg Sinnett - AECOM - Metrolink for the Masses: would Greater Manchester's light rail network be environment and socially successful in Stockport? 

·       Omar Ajaz - Mott MacDonald - Bus Rapid Transit (BRT's) Green Revolution: Investigating environmental mitigation, social inclusion, and transferrable solutions for sustainable mobility. 

·       Anshel Cohen - KWC - What impact did Sheffield's Grey to Green scheme have on social inclusion? Could lessons learned from the Grey to Green scheme be used in other urban regeneration projects? 

Join us on 27th March to hear from the 2023 Bursarians about their papers, an opportunity to ask them questions, and to find out more about the TPS Bursary Competition. Save your spot now through this link.
