Transport for Greater Manchester

This workshop focuses on the different perspectives people have when travelling in GM and explores how we can support safe travel for all.

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. This is the final workshop in a series of three (each workshop will be delivered twice). This workshop follows on from both the Women’s and Men’s Workshop which explore the different perspectives and experiences people have when travelling on the transport network in Greater Manchester. Feedback from both workshops will inform the delivery of the Workshop for All. We invite anyone who is aged 18+ and lives or travels in Greater Manchester to join this workshop to help us identify solutions and practical next steps to support safe travel for all. We encourage all attendees to register for the one of the workshops which will precede the Workshop for All session.
