Announcing Two New Events

16th October 2012: The Enterprise Centre, Derby

Tackling congestion is one of the biggest challenges facing the traffic and transport sectors in the UK. How local authorities manage this and carbon and energy reduction as a result of the intense build-up of traffic on the road network over the last 20 years will be crucial to making improvements in the future.

A new mindset is needed to address transport emissions and the changing role of the traffic manager at a time when the Carbon Reduction Commitment Scheme is at the forefront of every local agenda.

13th November 2012: 15 Hatfields, London

Surveyor, in association with leading bodies such as Sustrans and ADEPT, is proud to announce this one-day conference and exhibition, designed to engage debate on the future of sustainable transport.

In recent years local authorities have been charged with implementing sustainable transport initiatives in order to reduce congestion and pollution in their local areas, and help the UK reach its legally binding climate change targets.

Despite carbon from surface transport being accountable for almost a quarter of all the nation's emissions, and levels still being on the rise, the economic downturn posed a threat to these efforts.

However, the local transport minister, Norman Baker, indicated his ambition to support this agenda by establishing the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF).

This conference will examine LSTF projects given funding by the Government as well as looking at the part active travel is currently playing and how behaviour change fits in to the agenda. Speakers will also debate how the local transport funding arena is changing and what this means for the sector.
