Join CIHT for this masterclass on health and transport, exploring how sustainable transport solutions can create healthier, more active and connected communities.
The CIHT Masterclass on Transport and Health explores the crucial link between transport and public health, focusing on how active travel can deliver healthier, safer, and more inclusive places.
Drawing on CIHT’s latest report, Overcoming the barriers to implementing active travel schemes, this evidence-based masterclass goes beyond theory to address the real-world political, funding, safety, engagement, and planning challenges that often delay or prevent delivery- and how to overcome them.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the health, economic, environmental, and safety benefits of active travel, alongside insight into future-proofing mobility aid laws to ensure active travel works for everyone.
Designed for professionals across transport, public health, planning, and policy, this masterclass equips participants with the knowledge, data, and confidence to make a stronger case for active travel and deliver schemes that truly work.
Key Challenges Addressed- Participants will explore the common barriers that hinder the successful implementation of active travel schemes, including:
The masterclass focuses not only on identifying these challenges, but on practical, proven approaches to overcoming them.
This masterclass is open to all CIHT members, CIHT partner employees, BCoE members and non-members. This masterclass is free for all CIHT and BCoE members to attend and is charged for CIHT Partner Employees and non-members.
