A CIHT East Midlands led presentation which will discuss what impact the global pandemic will have on our transport industry long-term.
What impact will a global pandemic have on our transport industry long-term? What interventions should governments and transport bodies take to protect passengers but also encourage us back onto public transport? How can a spike in private car trips, congestion and the short journey back to poor air quality be prevented in our towns and cities?
This talk will explore some of the latest research and thinking on these questions, and will open up a discussion from the audience to share their ideas, experiences and responses to these issues.
A broad group of interested stakeholders in the transport industry.
