In this People & Projects episode of the Streets and People podcast, Wendy hosts Professor Lynette Cheah, a sustainable transport expert from the University of the Sunshine Coast. They discuss Lynette’s research, which includes efficient and sustainable mobility, urban freight transport, and the environmental impact of electric vehicles, as well as current opportunities for PhD students.

The conversation also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in transport planning, the challenges and opportunities in making transport systems sustainable and equitable, and the role of community involvement in shaping transport policies. Lynette emphasises the need for practical, real-world applications of academic research to benefit communities both locally in Queensland and globally.
