Bursary competition winner publishes article in Local Transport Today

Victoria Heald, the winner of our 2020 Bursary Competition, has recently published a fantastic article for Local Transport Today, the independent journal for transport decision makers.

The article, titled ‘Think net zero and Covid-19 are the biggest issues facing transport? Think again’, explores the role unconscious bias plays in transport planning and policy.

Victoria draws attention to the barriers these unconscious biases can create, like the lack of attention giving to accessibility concerns in transport infrastructure. Victoria collated results from a survey she carried out with over 160 British based transport professionals.

Based on the survey feedback, Victoria produced recommendations to help the transport sector tackle unconscious bias. These include rethinking the delivery of unconscious bias training, changing recruitment practices and delivering transport user-experience sessions.
