'THE IMPACT OF NON-TRANSPORT POLICIES ON TRANSPORT'
The integration of evidence-based knowledge within policy making processes strengthens the delivery of sustainable development strategies and initiatives within all sectors of the UK government. A challenge for sustainable transport objectives is the understanding of potential impacts from policy implementation across government sectors. Some impacts may be clear, such as transport demand from housing policies, however other policies may have more subtle effects on transport. An over-arching cross-sector research approach may provide a route to uncovering these links.
In order to continue the development of research into practice this workshop, provided by the SDRN (funded by the Department for Transport and Defra), will explore the dynamic between transport policy and other policy areas which may create unsustainable transport demand.
The main focus of the workshop will be the relationships between the transport, education, health and housing sectors. Facilitated discussions will provide opportunities for delegates to share their views and draw from their own experiences and sector knowledge. Information collected will be fed into policy development and used to identify future research needs. The event is aimed at policy makers, academics and business representatives.
