30TH UK TRANSPORT CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION

at the UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM 6 and 7 April 2006

Wasted Miles, Wasted Money

A less congested, more energy efficient future

How can we manage growing demand for transport whilst reducing its adverse 
impacts? No one solution exists to our transport problems - rather, the 
solution requires small but important gains across a whole range of 
transport activities. This conference brings together leading 
practitioners from a variety of disciplines all working towards modifying 
the demand for travel.

The focus is on the huge wastage that we currently accept as part of every 
day travel - 900 million empty vehicle seat kilometres driven every year, 
large numbers of failed first-time home deliveries, under-utilised public 
transport and inefficient vehicle fleets. The solutions discussed are all 
within the powers of local authorities and others to influence and should 
make a substantial contribution to the achievement of targets for 
congestion, pollution and accessibility. The benefits will be felt by 
users and providers of all modes.

The Conference promises to be both stimulating and invaluable to those 
engaged in developing solutions to deliver the Local Transport Plan 2 and 
beyond.
