TPS is pleased to announce the launch Transport Planning Day 2024.
See all the current vacancies.
Open to all those studying or working in transport planning, or related fields, on a professional basis.
The Transport Planning Society has responded to the government’s consultation on the Planning White Paper, Planning for the Future. You can download and read the document here. With such major reforms proposed, the TPS put in a significant effort to ensure that we provided a full response that covered our general view on the need for more of a focus on the integration of planning and transport, the likely outcomes from some of the proposals, and that also answered the specific questions.
The response was led by Lynda Addison, our former Chair and leader of our Planning and Transport group, with support from TPS members in that group, particularly Ben Harvey and Nicola Waight. We would like to thank them all for their huge efforts to produce the response document.
We also worked closely with our counterparts at the CIHT and RTPI on the response, to discuss key issues and ensure that the organisations were aligned. By working together as organisations and responding with similar views we believe we can have much more influence with government and stakeholders. Following our responses, we are currently arranging a meeting with MHCLG and the DfT to discuss our concerns and identify opportunities to ensure that any of the reforms are effective in achieving the outcomes sought. We hope we can work with these departments as constructively as possible to get the outcomes we all want.
If you have any queries about the response or are interested to get involved with our Planning and Transport group then please contact info@tps.org.uk.
