Plymouth City Council’s Sustainable Transport Team and the University of Plymouth’s Centre for Sustainable Transport hosted a conference targeted at shaping the future of transport within the City. Following the completion of four significant studies into public transportation over the last 12 months, the opportunity existed to share the key findings, recommendations and summaries of each. This was an opportunity to be actively involved in understanding and working through solutions for how we take the findings of the studies forward to deliver the best possible passenger transport services for the people of Plymouth.
