How do we achieve transport networks that meet passengers’ needs and make it easier for us all to choose sustainable travel options? We teamed up with Mott MacDonald, Gowling WLG and Hitachi Rail to publish a new report exploring this question and providing an insight into the steps that need taking. We found that long-term planning needs to be implemented, and this should be underpinned by a consideration of three key questions or ‘building blocks’: ✔️ Strong foundations – where are we now? ✔️ Visionary outlook – where do we want to get to? ✔️ Bold transition – how do we get there? As well as unpacking what these three building blocks mean, the report is punctuated with national and international case studies – each providing key learnings and success stories.

📢 UK transport services need long-term planning to be implemented immediately to meet passengers’ needs 📢 Today we’ve published a new report that explores how we develop transport networks that meet passengers’ needs and make it easier for them to choose sustainable travel options. The report, titled Making Transport Fit for the Future, has been published as part of our thought-leadership programme, Interchange. It’s the result of a collaboration between the Museum, leading engineering consultancy firm Mott MacDonald, international law firm Gowling WLG and Hitachi Rail. Calling for long-term planning in the form of three building blocks, it highlights travellers’ needs for affordable, reliable, convenient, safe and accessible transport systems. The report points to national and international case studies that demonstrate success stories and key learnings. These include Transport for London’s Active Travel scheme to promote cycling and walking, Montpellier’s free public transport initiative and First Bus’s use of AI to enhance reliability and efficiency of public transport systems. #TransportFitForTheFuture
