This award celebrates the value of transport planning in achieving positive outcomes for the benefit of the public, in creating new communities or on reducing the adverse impact of transport on communities.
Historically, addressing transport barriers to employment has been underexplored in our industry. Nottinghamshire County Council sought to address this by providing 1,000+ jobseekers with personalised travel advice about their transport options for reaching interviews, employment and training. In its two years, the Travel Choice programme reached its targets, supporting 1,060 jobseekers, of which 85 went on to re-enter employment, training or education. The reduction in payments from the public purse, increased tax contributions and wider GVA benefits as a result of these people re-entering employment created roughly £1m - £1.2m in benefits; with a BCR of 8:1 to 10:1.

On Monday 3 June 2019, Five Ways underpass, one of the key routes in and out of Birmingham city centre, was closed to traffic as part of the Midland Metro Alliance’s Birmingham Westside Metro extension.
The closure had the potential to cause considerable disruption to the city’s traffic flow, had it not been for careful planning and preparation from three key organisations. Thanks to a close collaboration between the Midland Metro Alliance, Birmingham City Council (BCC), Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) and Birmingham-based businesses, the closure went ahead without a hitch, with minimal disruption to the travelling public.
