List members may be interested to know that the UK Secretary of State for
Transport this morning received an open letter of concern regarding current
transport policy from 28 UK transport professors.
The letter was initiated by Professor Phil Goodwin of UCL and coordinated
by myself on behalf of the Transport Planning Society.
Further details, including the TPS press release containing the letter
itself, can be found on the TPS website at
http://environment.uwe.ac.uk/tps/activities/policy/policy.htm
Can I also draw to your attention the forthcoming TPS event on Monday 22
July at the ICE in London - "Relaunching the Government's Ten Year Plan for
Transport: Fundamental Revision or Cosmetic Adjustment?" - at which Phil
will be speaking. This will be an opportunity to hear more on and to debate
the concerns raised in the professors' letter. Details of the event can be
found at http://environment.uwe.ac.uk/tps/events/2002/220702.htm
Regards,
Glenn Lyons
Chairman, Transport Planning Society
