TPS Partner Programme

Our TPS Partner Programme has now replaced our Stakeholder Membership Programme, and is designed to provide your organisation with exclusive benefits and tools to achieve your strategic goals, while connecting with a network of like-minded businesses.

As a Partner of the Transport Planning Society, you will have access to exclusive resources, networking opportunities and brand exposure.

We offer three different partnership packages, as follows:

Skills Partners: those who use our structured training programme to support their staff development.

Corporate Partners: those who want to support the work of the TPS and benefit from the networking and profile raising opportunities it brings.

Public Sector Partners: for local and regional government - receiving the same benefits as our Corporate Partners but with no charge for membership.
