Welsh Government policies sets out a new direction for transport in Wales in response to the climate emergency. It is recognised that if we are going to meet our climate change targets, modal shift is required, and Llwybr Newydd | The Wales Transport Strategy sets out a target of 45% of journeys to be made by public transport, walking and cycling by 2040. Achieving this target presents a professional challenge to industry professionals in Wales – collectively, we are tasked with transforming the way people travel in Wales.
What do we need to do differently, and what can we learn from best practice elsewhere?
This webinar will provide attendees with a better understanding of the context, and ways in which we can move beyond targets towards implementation. The presentation will draw on global best practice and offer considerations for transport industry professionals in enabling mode shift.
• Fantastic CPD opportunity
• Develop key understanding in response to the Roads Review
• Learn about modal shift
• Opportunity for Q&A with experts
Anyone in or related to the highways and transport industry.
