Planning for sustainable transport requires a fully integrated transport network to achieve an efficient transportation network, which can act as a catalyst for delivering model shift through behavioural changes for the public; and ultimately contribute to CO2 emission targets and improve the health of the nation.
This podcast features Professor John Parkin, Deputy Director of the Centre for Transport and Society and Professor of Transport Engineering at the University of the West of England. John has been involved in all stages of the promotion of transport schemes, as well as having experience across all modes of transport with a specialism in cycling. With his expertise, John has produced an e-learning course on Sustainable Transport for CIHT Learn.
In this podcast, John explores the links between regulation, infrastructure design and user behaviour and their ability to impact sustainable transport. John further explores this link and its relationship with sustainable transport by discussing:
- the changes in The Highway Code,
- the results of John's continuous side road study,
- sustainable transport modules on CIHT Learn
- behaviour change initiatives, and
- shifting the perspective of road investment.
