I’ll be attending this free networking event for travel plan coordinators in Leeds on 6 May 2026.

The event is organized by the Leeds City Council Travel Planning team and brings together people working on travel plans across the city. It’s a great opportunity to connect with others in the field and learn about local sustainable transport initiatives including:

Betterpoints
Beryl Bikes
Northern Rail
Residential MCard
Enterprise Car Club
Public transport ticketing

The event runs from 10am to 12pm at Merrion House (110 Merrion Way, Leeds LS1 1UR).

Registration is free via Eventbrite.

Transport Committee Academic Engagement Event

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 09:30:00 +0000

The Transport Committee is holding an academic engagement event to strengthen connections with the research community and discuss pertinent transport policy issues.

The event aims to:

Give members of the Committee an opportunity to hear about the latest academic research.
Grow the Committee’s understanding of and connections to the research community.
Strengthen researcher understanding of the work of the Committee and how to get involved.

I have been invited based on my research expertise in:

Research methods and data science
Local and regional transport planning
Travel behaviour and behaviour change
Decarbonisation

I plan to discuss my ongoing work with Active Travel England, particularly the update to evidence on “critical issues” for walking, wheeling, and cycling. This involves a move towards identifying and remediating dangerous infrastructure rather than just promoting best practice. I am also developing methods to estimate baseline traffic levels for all modes at the road segment level, a project that is currently focused on the West Midlands but has national scalability.
