The Advocacy and Public Affairs Group (APAG) is the ITS UK group for all things politics, policy and communications. It provides the opportunity for members to hear and engage with key speakers covering policy or comms in the sector, followed by an update on ITS UK’s Advocacy & Public Affairs activity.

This session will be scrutinising the Autumn Budget, examining what it means for the UK, businesses and the transport and transport technology sectors. Members will hear from transport public affairs expert, Jo Field. Jo is the Founder and Chief Executive of JFG Communications – a dedicate transport public affairs agency. She will provide an overview of what the Chancellor’s decisions could mean for the transport sector as a whole.

Her section will be followed by ITS UK Public Affairs & PR Executive, Eduardo Pitts, who will give his thoughts on what the budget might mean for the transport technology sector more specifically, before covering an update on ITS UK’s Public Affairs & PR activity.
