SUMMARY:The Road to D-TRO Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Digitalisation of Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) offers a generational opportunity to change the way we manage the roadside. Whilst many TROs are published as paper documents by traffic authorities\, the signing of the Automated Vehicles Act 2024 into law means that all authorities will soon need to have their TROs in digital formats\, with a single data standard that can be shared with the Department for Transport. \nThis provides an major opportunity to change the way our roadside works. It will mean easier consultations for the public\, quicker processes for approvals and a more flexible system that can meet the changing policy needs of local authorities. \nThe Road to D-TRO Conference\, sponsored by Causeway Technologies\, will explore the current state of play\, provide examples of those local authorities who have already made the move across to digital\, and ask ‘what next?’ for D-TROs and the management of the road. \nWe’ll hear from Government\, local authorities\, suppliers and key decision makers to get their perspective on how we can best utilise D-TROs to support a greener\, safer and more efficient road network. \nThis event is open to all and free to attend – simply register via the link below. By registering\, you consent to have your details shared with Causeway Technologies. \nWhat to expect at this event?\n\nLearn from your peers and hear from key industry voices\, including the DfT.\nGain expert insights into the D-TRO requirements.\nParticipate in workshops designed to help you unlock the full potential of digital traffic orders for your community.\n\nRegister to Attend\nWith thanks to Sponsors: \n \nWhere do you currently stand on D-TROs?\nAs part of the event\, Causeway Technologies are gathering views on current levels of awareness from Local Authorities regarding D-TROs.

SUMMARY:Inclusive Mobility Forum
DESCRIPTION:Disruption is a challenge that the transport network will continue to encounter across nearly all modes of travel. How we react during these periods\, and what we do to minimise the impact on those travelling\, is critical. Yet\, for those with disabilities and special access needs\, disruption can be even more intense and frustrating. \nThe Inclusive Mobility Forum will hold a webinar\, on the 22 October\, where we will explore the specific issues disabled travellers face during disruption and discuss how a more strategic adoption of ITS can help overcome these challenges\, ensuring a more efficient and reliable service for everyone. \nWe’ll hear from experts from across different modes and ask how transport technology can support those with accessibility needs when their journey doesn’t go as planned. \nWe encourage you to register via the button below. \nREGISTER NOW\n  \nAgenda\n2.00pm| Introductions\, Welcome & Scene Setting\nKris Beuret and Anthony Duckenfield\, Inclusive Mobility Forum Officers \n2.10pm | Communicating change to customers\nClaire Walters\, Chief Executive\, Bus Users UK \n2.25pm | Looking after customers with special needs during rail disruption\nElizabeth Gilliard\, Consultant\, First Rail Consulting Services \n2.40pm | Highlighting disruption in the National Accessibility Strategy\nHelen Dolphin\, Accessibility and Inclusion\, Great British Railways Transition Team \n2.55pm | Q&A & Panel Session focusing on the solutions to disruption \n– Dan Taylor\, Accessibility Lead\, Transport Focus\n– Tony Duckenfield\, Managing Director\, Beyond Logic\n– Stephen Howes\, Transit Partnerships Lead\, UK and Ireland\, Uber\n– Ann Frye\, Director\, Ann Frye Ltd. \nKey questions that will be considered during the panel: \n1.

SUMMARY:Smart Data Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:ITS UK and the Open Data Institute (ODI)\, one of the country’s leading data organisations\, are organising a roundtable on smart transport data\, taking place on 3 October from 12pm – 3pm. \nEarlier this year\, the then-Government set out the Smart Data Roadmap\, listing a number of key sectors where it believed smart data could have a significant benefit. Transport was listed as one of the industries where a new approach to smart data could lead to better information and greater access to the transport network. Following the Roadmap’s publication\, the new Government published a Digital Information and Smart Data Bill to enable new innovative uses of data to improve people’s lives. \nAt this Roundtable\, ITS UK and ODI will be looking to explore the role of smart data in a transport context. We will share learnings from other industries where smart data has progressed and discuss what a smart data approach could mean for transport providers and suppliers\, the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) sector and the wider transport network. The roundtable will gather key industry leaders from transport and data\, in what will be a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas and shape a united vision for the transport technology industry. \nThis event is for Executive Members only – to secure a registration link\, please email contact@its-uk.org.

SUMMARY:Road User Charging Forum
DESCRIPTION:We’re partnering with University College London to hold a Road User Charging Forum event\, marking sixty years since the publication of the Smeed Report. The Smeed Report\, led by R.J. Smeed and supported by a team of economists and engineers\, was a study that was published into alternative methods of road user charging and commissioned by the UK Government between 1962 and 1964. \nThis event on the 10 September will take a look back and reflect on 60 years since the Report was published\, focusing on some of the major changes involving policy and practice as well as the technological advances and shifting public perceptions around charging for road use. We’ll hear from academia\, industry and local authorities before looking at what the future could hold for a national road pricing scheme.
