COVID-19 is having an unprecedented impact on how we get around, how goods are transported, and how transport planners do their work. This project will allow transport planners to share their stories, thoughts, and feelings about transport planning and its future in this uncertain time.

We will keep this page updated regularly throughout the life of the project. You can see the complete rationale in this Google Doc.

What are we trying to find out?

The answer to 4 key questions:

1. How do you feel about transport planning right now?
2. What issues and opportunities for transport planning do you see posed by the COVID-19 crisis?
3. How do you feel about the future of transport planning, and why?
4. What should transport planners and the TPS be doing about this?

What is this project all about?

This is a collaborative discovery project being led by the Transport Planning Society. But it will be driven by you.

We are taking a discovery approach to the project. Our approach will adapt as the circumstances change and as we discover more through our conversations with you.

What can you do to help?

Over the next 2 weeks, there are 2 things that you can do to help out:

1.Talk about the key questions at your next team meeting, and feed back the response. Discuss the 4 key questions, take notes on the key ideas, and then feed them back to us using this simple Google Form;

2. Share your perspective on #TPSCOVID19RESPONSE. Share your views on social media using the #TPSCOVID19RESPONSE hashtag.

When we have received all the feedback from these next 2 weeks, we will analyse it, present it, and use it to inform our next steps.
