Local Government Exchange

ITS UK’s first Local Government Exchange will bring together the transport technology sector with local councillors and decision-makers to explore how industry can support local priorities and policy objectives.
The inaugural event will take place in Derby, shortly after the local elections on 7 May 2026. We will invite policymakers from across the East Midlands, particularly local councillors, but also MPs and Peers, and bring them together with ITS UK members to discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing the transport network.
This inaugural event will aim for half of those in the room to be from the public sector, providing meaningful discussion between transport technology companies and public sector decision-makers.

How does it work?
The event will be evenly split between public sector and industry representatives:

50% local councillors (prioritised), as well as MPs and Peers from the East Midlands (25 tickets)
50% ITS UK members (25 tickets)

There will be five themed discussion tables, each focused on a priority area for transport policy in the East Midlands:

Safety
Congestion
Public Transport
Active Travel
Innovation

Local government attendees will rotate between tables, joining the discussions most relevant to their interests and responsibilities. At each table, they will engage directly with industry representatives to explore practical solutions to the challenges they face.
We will run three structured discussion sessions, ensuring participants have the opportunity to contribute to multiple topic areas and build connections.
A report of discussions on each table will be shared with attendees following the event.
