Future Travel Scenarios in the North | Episode 31

Transport for the North Podcast

Listen now to hear Simon McGlone (Senior Major Roads Planning and Strategy Officer) give us a fascinating overview of TfN's Future Travel Scenarios work! This looks at uncertainties around the way we'll want to live, travel, work and play, and what that means for our transport networks. Simon tells us how our Future Travel Scenarios approach picks up from the TfN Strategic Transport Plan publication and targets drivers of change typically outside of transport, including economic, social and environmental interdependences. The work also explores how they may change, and what that change might mean for how people, businesses and goods interact with the transport system, and therefore the demands on the travel network. The publication is nominated for a CIHT Award 2021 in the Transport Planning category: https://www.ciht.org.uk/events-listing/featured-events/ciht-awards/2021-shortlist/ciht-transport-planning-award-2021-shortlist/ You can view all the reports and find out more about the work here: https://transportforthenorth.com/future-travel-scenarios/ Thank you for listening and make sure you click 'follow' to stay up to date with our latest episodes!
