What partners say
“TPS reaches the places that other professional societies do not, because it is rooted in the everyday realities of transport planning practice. It is practitioner-orientated, focused on the key issues that transport planning professionals grapple with daily, and remains the only professional society that truly “gets” transport planning. Over recent decades, TPS has played a central role in defining and shaping the industry, while retaining the agility to embrace the contemporary challenges facing transport and place.”
Dr Colin Black, Director, Transport and Place, Mayer Brown
