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 21^st 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.
