The Economics of Sustainable Travel - Act TravelWise Autumn Conference 2014

Note the new date: Tuesday 9 December 2014

Whether you’re in the public, private or third sector, a strong economic rationale is increasingly needed to justify a shift from private car use to sustainable, accessible transport options. It is no longer enough to demonstrate positive health outcomes, positive modal shift or improved quality of life. In today’s political context – like it or not – the economy takes centre stage.

Confirmed Speakers:

• Baroness Susan Kramer, Minister of State for Transport
• Stephen Joseph OBE, Executive Director, Campaign for Better Transport

Invited Speakers:

• Emeritus Professor Phil Goodwin, University of the West of England and University College London.

Funding for your projects and initiatives will depend on how well you make the business case for sustainable travel. This one-day conference provides the necessary context and clarity to help you develop projects and initiatives that will have the best chance of success in economic terms. If you represent a private sector company, you will learn how to benefit economically from implementing sustainable travel initiatives.

Join us for a lively mix of first-rate speakers, interactive sessions and engaging discussions covering various angles and perspectives on the theme. The conference runs from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch and refreshments are provided. An optional evening drinks reception with light buffet will take place after the conference until 7 pm.

Conference attendance is open to all. Up-to-date paid members of Act TravelWise will receive one free registration. The cost for all other delegates is £195.
