Active Travel Forum
2025-06-26 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
How do we solve an issue like active travel data?
On Thursday 26 June, from 10 to 11.30am, the ITS UK Active Travel Forum will be holding a webinar focusing on how we solve challenges around data for active travel.
This webinar will focus on some of the opportunities and challenges with an excellent line-up of speakers from Active Travel England, Transport for London, See.Sense and Vivacity.
Increasingly, the active travel industry needs to identify demand for infrastructure, ensuring urban spaces are designed to support sustainable, long-term growth in walking, wheeling and cycling, while protecting vulnerable road users; and evaluate the success of active travel schemes – understanding their real-world impact and informing their return on investment.
Yet, a key challenge with these activities is the lack of high-quality, in-depth data on active travel participation, safety, accessibility, interactions between different types of road users and the impacts of infrastructure design on these factors. How do we ensure we have the right data, at the right quality and have the means to use it to inform decisions?
This session will explore some of these challenges and a number of solutions that are being developed and implemented. Following presentations from our speakers, there will be dedicated time to ask questions and share your thoughts.

NAVIGATES Project Workshop
2025-09-03 16:00 - 17:30 | UTAC Millbrook, Station Lane, Bedford, MK45 2JQ
Shape the future of autonomous mobility at the NAVIGATES Project Workshop.
Cenex, in collaboration with Angoka and ITS UK, is looking to invite industry representatives to a workshop as part of Project NAVIGATES (Networked Autonomous Vehicle Integration and Governance with Advanced Technology Security).
For No User in Charge (NUiC) operation, the UK Automated Vehicles Act 2024 requires that, in addition to the Authorised Self Driving Entity (ASDE) responsible for the vehicle’s driving behaviour and compliance, there be a licensed NUiC operator responsible for the detection of, and response to, problems arising during NUiC operation.
Project NAVIGATES is a collaborative study to examine the use cases, feasibility and benefits of regional RSOCC (Remote Service Operator Control Centres) for the centralised management and co-ordination of autonomous vehicle activities.
Similar to air traffic control centres, regional centres would oversee fleets of driverless vehicles operating with NUiC, assisting the provision of coordinated services and offering economies of scale aiding the business case for the roll of out Connected Automated Mobility. Project NAVIGATES is the first dedicated study in the UK to explore this model in detail.
The Workshop
This workshop will look to gather industry expertise and insights to define the operational and technical requirements, develop a robust business case, and outline the roadmap for centres in the UK.
ITS UK members are invited to attend, with 25 spaces available for the workshop, which will take place at CENEX Expo on Tuesday 3 September. Places are offered on a first come, first served basis.
This event is run by CENEX and ANGOKA, in partnership with ITS UK.

Taking place on 9 October at 12pm, the Road User Charging Forum will look at the topic of ‘Road Pricing: At Home, Abroad and in the Future’, discussing some of the key opportunities and challenges around implementing schemes, both here in the UK and overseas.
We will hear from New Zealand Transport Minister Hon Chris Bishop, who will give a keynote exploring the steps New Zealand is taking to replace petrol taxes with electronic road user charges. His speech will be followed by presentations covering current innovations in the UK and abroad, including London’s ULEZ, M6 Toll, in Holland, Norway and elsewhere.
In this session we will be hearing the latest from across the UK industry on these schemes as well as some key updates from overseas. We will then look ahead to what the future could have in store for road pricing, too, demonstrating a new tool being developed by ITS UK and Kainos.
Meeting at the Arup offices in London, on 9th October from 12 noon to 4pm this will no doubt be a very topical session.

Panels we’ll be at
The new route in: Inspiring digital futures in transport | 15 October, 4pm, Professional Development Hub
The transport sector’s future depends on innovation, data, and—most importantly—people. This session brings together partners from National Highways, Digital Lab, Digdata, and Arup to share how collaboration has fuelled new opportunities for young people to discover transport careers. From the success of a nationwide virtual work experience campaign to the creation of an on-site programme for Year 12 students, the partnership has broken new ground in engaging the next generation. Looking ahead, we’ll explore how Project Route will build on this momentum, widening access, nurturing diverse talent, and ensuring the sector is ready for the data-driven future of transport.

Executive Breakfast: AI and the future of the road network
2025-10-16 07:45 - 09:45 | Piazza 1, NEC Birmingham, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1PA, Piazza 1, Marston Green, Birmingham, B40 1PA
The need for smarter, safer, and more efficient transport systems has never been greater. Killed or seriously injured incidents (KSIs) on the road network are plateauing year-on-year, congestion is rising across city regions and a tough fiscal environment at all levels of government means increasing pressures to deliver cost-effectively.
Meanwhile, with RIS3 currently under discussion, and the Spending Review confirming £15.6 billion for city regions, as well as further funding for towns and rural areas, decisions will soon be made as to how these funding pots can best be used to tackle the challenges listed above.
In the UK, the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and increased use of data analytics is helping offer new ways to address congestion, reduce emissions, and enhance road safety. A new Tranport AI Action Plan, published over the summer, has set out key steps the Government will be taking with industry to embed AI tools across the transport network.
This breakfast, held on the second day of Highways UK, invites ITS UK Executive Members to a morning roundtable discussing how AI will transform our road network. Held in the NEC’s Piazza 1, a short walk from the show, the roundtable will explore how transport authorities across the UK are utilising AI technology to deliver better outcomes for road users.
We offer one place per Executive Member on a first come, first served basis. To register, please email contact@its-uk.org.

Integrated Transport and the Future of Smart Ticketing Roundtable
2025-11-03 10:00 - 13:00 | Salisbury House, Salisbury House, London, EC2M 6SE, United Kingdom
Smart ticketing – and the roll out of multi-modal, integrated systems – has been identified as a key priority by the Department for Transport. Whether through the Integrated National Transport Strategy (INTS), the delivery of Projects Coral and Oval (in the Midlands and South of England), or new bus and rail legislation to give Combined Authorities more control of their bus systems and to set up GBR, it is clear the policy and commercial landscapes around smart ticketing are rapidly changing.
What does that mean for the smart ticketing market? How can the industry shift to a new environment requiring greater collaboration between suppliers, and with combined authorities? And how do we ensure we are delivering technology that improves the passenger experience, supports transport authorities in protecting their revenue and creates more seamless journeys across modes?
This roundtable, at ITS UK’s headquarters in London, will look at exactly these issues, focusing on the opportunities and barriers to the roll out of smart ticketing:

The What? (What the changing landscape means for the sector): The impact of bus franchising, creation of Great British Railways and devolution to combined authorities
The Why? (Why are we doing this): Integration between modes, regions and schemes, improving the passenger experience, revenue protection, increasing uptake for public transport.
The How? (How can the sector deliver smart ticketing): The shifting commercial environment as we move from single to modular supply chains and from closed to open loop systems, greater collaboration between suppliers.

This event will take place on Monday 3 November from 10am to 1pm, in London. Although in-person attendance is prefered, an option to join online will be available.

Freight Forum
2025-11-20 10:00 - 11:30 | Online
This is a reminder to join us online at the ITS UK Freight Forum on 20 November. The session will explore the integral, pivotal role of data within Freight and Logistics.
Data is the backbone of our logistics systems. It drives efficiency, and decision-making across the entire supply chain and is helping the sector move from reactive processes into having a holistic, strategic approach to freight movements. In short, it is changing the very way we move goods and resources around the country.
In this webinar session, the ITS UK Freight Forum are delighted to showcase three presentations based on the “importance of data in freight and logistics”. With input from the Department for Transport (DfT), the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS) and FORS, we will be discussing the importance of freight data by Government departments, enforcement bodies and how data can enable road hauliers to become more profitable and environmentally friendly.

EV Infrastructure Roundtable
2025-12-09 10:00 - 12:30 | Workspace, Fleet Street, 154-160 Fleet Street, London, EC4A 2DQ, United Kingdom
As the UK shifts rapidly towards zero-emission vehicles, the availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is becoming ever more critical. Without a comprehensive network of chargers (both on-site at depots and accessible to the public), the UK’s ambitions for net zero transport will not be possible.
As part of ITS UK’s partnership with the Crown Commercial Service, this roundtable will explore how public sector and corporate organisations are procuring EV charging infrastructure and preparing their fleets for net zero. The roundtable will bring together those looking to electrify their fleets with Government, ITS UK members and the wider sector to explore how the industry can drive forward decarbonisation.
The roundtable will take place at the Workspace Offices in Fleet Street from 10am to 12.30pm. The address is 154-160 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2DQ
