TPS Bursary Competition deadline approaching 

The deadline for the competition is fast approaching, with all proposals needing to be submitted by Friday 27th August. This year's topic focuses on how Transport Planners can best prepare for the new normal.

The competition encourages younger members of the Transport Planning Society 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 2022.

The winner of the competition will receive £500. You will also have your paper published on the TPS website, and have the opportunity to come to the TPS awards ceremony. 

This year’s topic is:

Scenario planning – how can Transport Planners best plan for the new normal?

Change, especially at the rapid rate that we are now experiencing, creates uncertainty but also opportunities – what do you think are the most likely issues we will have to face and how can we plan for them whilst staying flexible enough to respond to rapid change ….. please provide examples of at least two scenarios and share your ideas on how transport planners can be prepared for these.

We are looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
