Barbara Davies from The West of England Partnership will provide an overview of the Transport Innovation Fund (TIF) bid for the area. Road user charging in Bristol and Bath is a notable feature of the TIF bid. Charles Musselwhite of the University of the West of England, Bristol, will talk about the challenge of gaining public acceptability of road pricing, drawing on recent research that he has conducted.

Following this, the audience will be invited to participate in an interactive exercise where they develop ideas on how a promotional campaign might be designed to inform the public and influence opinions on congestion and transport policy (including road pricing).
