A Safer Transport Network in Greater Manchester

TfGM are hosting a series of engagement workshops to explore the practical steps TfGM can take to enable everyone to create an environment that encourages feelings of safety on the transport network.

TfGM and partners are working to develop and deliver a transport network which is<a href="https://tfgm.com/corporate/equality-and-diversity" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> truly inclusive, addresses inequality </a>and supports the <a href="https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/what-we-do/greater-manchester-strategy/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Greater Manchester Strategy vision </a>to make Greater Manchester one of the best places in the world for people to grow up, get on and grow old. Safety on the transport network is key to achieving this vision. However, we know that in Greater Manchester women feel less safe on public transport and on our streets. In line with research from other regions, analysis of our <a href="https://tfgm.com/destination-bee-network" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Destination: Bee Network (D:BN) Public Conversation findings </a>shows that women’s safety was frequently raised as a concern by respondents and that perceptions of safety were often linked to the behaviour of others. To build on this conversation we are hosting a series of engagement workshops to explore the practical steps TfGM can take to enable everyone – particularly men and boys – to create an environment that encourages feelings of safety among women and girls on public transport and in our streets. We invite anyone who identifies as a woman, is aged 18+ and lives or travels in Greater Manchester to join this workshop. This workshop will focus on the experiences of women and girls when travelling on the network in Greater Manchester and will explore what actions people feel need to be taken to support safe travel for all. This is the first workshop in a series of three (each workshop will be delivered twice). Feedback from this workshop will inform the delivery of the Men’s Workshop - which will cover similar topics from a male perspective - and the final Workshop for All. We encourage all attendees to register for the final, Workshop for All session, which will bring together the perspectives of both men and women, with a view to identify solutions and practical next steps. The Workshop for All session will be delivered twice – links to register are below: <ul><li>1﻿3th December, 6pm-8pm: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/463732324867" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/463732324867</a></li><li>1﻿4th December, 11am-1pm: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/463735253627" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/463735253627 </a></li></ul>
