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.
With a General Election in 2015 and elections to the Scottish Government and Welsh and Northern Ireland Assemblies in 2016, it’s a good time to consider what any future government’s priorities should be. In the last few years, many experts have questioned the current system of transport appraisal and the accuracy of national road traffic forecasts. Other recent developments with a potential impact on transport planning include an increasing role for the private sector in local decision making on transport and the return of the responsibility for public health to local authorities.Transport planning also needs to help meet the challenges of climate change and poor air quality, and to secure transport system resilience to extreme weather events.
The TPS Bursary scheme gives you the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Successful bursarians receive £500 when producing a paper and presentation. This will raise your profile and guidance is available for you to develop your writing skills. We welcome entries on any relevant topic and you could be awarded the Bursary of the Year!
Please click for further information. Further information, including details of previous bursary holders' papers is available on the TPS website at http://www.tps.org.uk/main/bursaries/]
There will also be an opportunity to find out more about this year's bursary and hear from those who have benefitted from the scheme in the past at an event in London on 14 May.
We look forward to receiving your applications. The deadline is Wednesday 25 June.
