An Alternative Transport Future

'An Alternative Transport Future' will examine the political, policy and practical challenges of integrating transport and climate change priorities.

Balancing transport, environment and society's needs

This conference will seek to identify the steps which need to be taken by policymakers, the transport industry and the investment community to resolve these conflicts.

Topics to be addressed include:

• The consequences of inaction
• Capacity and congestion issues
• The principal challenges to encouraging investment in transport
