The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will be held from 27 July to 7 August 2022 – twenty years after Manchester 2002 and on the ten-year anniversary of the London 2012 Olympics. The Games will bring together 6,500 athletes and officials, from 71 Commonwealth nations and territories, who will take part in 17 different sports in venues in Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond. An estimated one million spectators will attend and the global TV audience is expected to be more than 1.5 billion.
The Games will be a festival of sport, culture and business – a unique celebration that will bring people together - uniting the city, the region and the Commonwealth.
Successful transport operations are critical to the overall success of the Games, which is why the Birmingham 2022 Organising Committee and Transport for West Midlands are working closely with transport partners across the industry to ensure that all those involved in competing, watching, administering and reporting on events are transported in a safe and efficient manner, whilst at the same time making sure that any disruption to current users of the region’s transport network is kept to a minimum.
This workshop hosted by Anne Shaw, Director of Network Resilience, TfWM and Allan Gooch, Transport Lead for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, will provide an understanding of the transport challenges created by the Games and the emerging transport strategy being developed to meet those challenges.
The event is open to members and non-members. Refreshments will be provided.
