Deadline for the TPS 2023 bursary competition this week!

The TPS Bursary competition encourages younger members of TPS to produce a structured written paper on a topic of current relevance to transport planning.

You will be supported by a mentor appointed by the TPS Board who will be a senior member of the profession. 

If your proposed title is accepted, you will be asked to write the full paper with the help of your mentor and present it at a special meeting of TPS Board members in January 2023. You will then receive £500 and be featured in a TPS news item.

This year’s Bursary asks you to:

‘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?’

The deadline for applying to take part in this year’s competition is Friday 21st July 2023. To apply, please fill in the application form here and follow the guidance uploaded here.

If successful, you will be assigned a mentor in August and have three months to complete your research. The finished paper needs to be submitted by 8th December 2023.
