Building a successful public transport network

In order to truly compete with the private car, public transport systems need to be planned and delivered as connected and integrated networks rather than 'mode by mode' offers that too often compete instead of complement.

A succe​ssful multimodal strategy will focus not only on on creating viable networks, but will include key mobility management strategies such as pricing reforms, parking, land use development impacts and community livability.

This three-part series of webinars will highlight the key elements of the multi-modal strategy that the UK should work towards. How do we integrate a series of modal layers that provides a seamless, convenient and attractive overall system for all? Expert speakers will consider the full system evolution including planning, funding, delivery and operation.
