Lack of transport choices leaving young people behind.
Take a look at our press release and the report from our Transport to Thrive project. @UWE_CTS @UWE_Research

[UWE Bristol @UWEBristol]

🚕A new report reveals young people face significant transport barriers limiting their access to work, education, and life-defining opportunities.

Worked w/ @Sustrans and funded by @HealthFdn, the study highlights a risk of economic and social exclusion👉https://t.co/5pR3XhwsuQ

Buses are a lifeline for many young adults and we need to maintain bus networks - see blog by my colleague Sarah Collings @scol8d. @UWE_CTS @UWE_Research

[Urban Transport Group @UTG_UK]

"Transport should not be a risk factor for young people’s prospects."

@UWEBristol's Dr Sarah Collings blogs on how buses are vital for young adults to access education and employment, following interviews with 17 and 18-year-olds.

Civil rights hero Roy Hackett has died.

He played a major role in the Bristol Bus Boycott in 1963 and overturned a ban on non-white drivers & conductors working on the city's buses.

He was also a founder of St Pauls Carnival.

Many young people have limited💷and rely on the🚌to get around and make their way in life, yet face a postcode lottery in accessing free and discounted bus fares. We've published a policy briefing today that calls for action to address this injustice. @UWE_CTS @Sustrans

[Research from UWE Bristol @UWE_Research]

New report from UWE Bristol academics and @Sustrans shows unfair bus fare policy risks holding young people back from reaching life-defining opportunities.

The report highlights the need for bus fares to support up to the age of 25 https://t.co/ZDiO0nWl71 @UWE_CTS

@DrGregMarsden @N8Decarbo Fantastic blog @DrGregMarsden - highlights the potential for beh change within people's lives. You should get other academics to do their 'auto' biographies and further build the case.

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

Long-term changes in work and work-related travel paved the way to the adaptations seen during the pandemic. Pro-active policies are needed to grasp the opportunity for deep carbon reductions from transport and improve equity and health outcomes. @welsh_fi @UWE_CTS @UWE_GEM

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

We are at a crossroads. Mobility patterns are unstable and unpredictable. The ITF working group I chaired calls for vision-led transport planning to steer a course towards more sustainable, equitable and resilient futures. Let's work together 🌍 @ITF_Forum @UWE_CTS @UWE_Research

[International #Transport Forum 🌎 @ITF_Forum]

Travel behaviour is evolving in unexpected ways🧑‍💻 Our new report just out 📢 explores why breaks with past trends occurred but were not foreseen. We present a vision-led approach to planning to address uncertainty and build resilience 💪 Read on 👓https://t.co/QlDzO2O8kd

@MeganStreb @RicciMiriam @sustrans @UWE_CTS @UWE_GEM Good to hear - look forward to working with you on this and agree apprentices are an important focus.

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

Looking forward to working with my colleagues, Sarah Collings and @RicciMiriam, and Andy Cope (@Sustrans) and everyone else interested to ensure transport serves young people well post-pandemic. @UWE_CTS @UWE_GEM

And I also said even in rural areas there are young people not keen on driving, or able to drive, and we must see what can be done creatively “to connect young people to shared transport, shared ownership and shared lifts, and more efficient public transport services".

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

@CommonsTrans has not recommended Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL) is introduced now but DfT gets evidence on the impacts of GDL on social and economic opportunities available to young people. I welcome the call for this evidence @UWE_CTS @UWE_GEM @HealthFdn @sustrans

[Transport Committee @TransportCttee]

This morning we have published our report on Road safety: young and novice drivers

Find out more about the report and what we've recommended here: https://t.co/KXTHKLFx6c

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

It quotes me saying barriers to driving for young people in rural/urban peripheries would not be welcome. But I also said that GDL measures that improve safety of driving would increase confidence to drive and reduce insurance premiums and hence support young people’s mobility.

[Kiron Chatterjee @KironChatterjee]

@Schwerdtfegerin @BUNDjugend Wie war es, Stefanie? What seems to be the best way forward for affordable and socially just public transport?
