Overview

This year’s CIHT Yorkshire & The Humber Conference focuses on the theme of inclusivity and accessibility in transport. Across South Yorkshire, transport inclusivity and accessibility has also been on the agenda and this year, CIHT are hosting the conference in Sheffield to showcase what’s been going on in the region in recent years and share best practice in inclusive and accessible transport provision across multiple modes.

●    Active Travel England - on scheme successes in the region, critical safety issues and solutions

●    AmCo - on Magna Park & Ride deliverability and accessibility
●    Other speakers to be announced covering topics around active travel and alleviating transport poverty.

Amy Stevenson Site Engineer at AmcoGiffen Amy has been within the industry for 3 years, working predominantly on rail infrastructure for AmcoGiffen. She has mainly worked on Access for All (AfA) schemes as a site engineer, most recently completing Magna Tram Station where she was promoted from Graduate Civil Engineer to Site Engineer. Stepping away from rail, she has been the site engineer on multiple EV charger schemes up and down the country. Some of these have been very small whilst others have been substantial, each bringing their own unique challenges. Alongside work, she has been involved with the ICE’s Early Career Network (ECN) Committee in Yorkshire and Humber since October 2023, holding many roles over the years but this year she has become the Chair. She has helped deliver joint sessions with other institutions, including the CIHT last year, and hopes to continue delivering these as her year of being Chair progresses.
