At the TPS Annual General Meeting on Thursday evening Laura Putt was delighted to announce the winner of the annual Bursary Competition for 2023.    

The topic for 2023 was: ‘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 judges were impressed with all the entries but agreed to award Sarah Garvin of Jacobs with her paper titled: "20-minute neighbourhoods: The vital role of transport in creating inclusive communities in Dundee" the overall winners accolade.   

Upon winning the award, Sarah said: 

“Participating in the Bursary Competition has been a remarkable journey of growth and learning. I would like to thank the TPS for this invaluable opportunity to expand my knowledge, hone my professional skills, and establish myself in the wider industry. I highly recommend the Bursary Competition to other young professionals eager to delve into a new topic and make a meaningful contribution to the field of transport planning.”
