Modeshift to host international TDM Delegation
We’re excited to welcome a delegation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) professionals from the United States in partnership with the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT).
From Monday 24 to Friday 28 March, we’ll be hosting a week-long visit that will bring together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore best practice in sustainable transport for major events.
An unmissable learning opportunity
With the UK’s experience of hosting major global events like the Olympic Games and large-scale concerts, this visit offers a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insights into world-class event transport planning.
Throughout the week, we will be joined by colleagues from Transport for London, Great Western Railway, London Legacy Development Corporation, Major Events International, Transport for Greater Manchester and visiting some of the UK’s leading venues and transport hubs, including Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (Wimbledon) and Manchester City Football Club.
Delegates will also attend the Modeshift National STARS Summit on Thursday 27 March, where we’ll be celebrating sustainable travel excellence and sharing best practice in active and sustainable travel.
Key topics and takeaways
Participants will explore:
- Special event travel plans focused on the use of Travel Demand Management (TDM) strategies
- Multi-modal transport
- Innovative Travel Planning technologies
- Marketing, communications and stakeholder engagement
- Private sector engagement to mitigate impacts on commuters and non-event attendees
This is a fantastic opportunity for Modeshift Members to engage in international collaboration, learn from leaders in event transport planning, and help shape the future of sustainable mobility.
David Straus, Executive Director, Association for Commuter Transportation said:
‘ACT’s delegation to the UK is an incredible opportunity to learn firsthand from experts who have successfully managed transportation for some of the world’s biggest events. The UK has set a high standard for efficient, sustainable, and accessible mobility, and I’m excited to bring these insights back home to our members to share within their communities. Great appreciation goes out to our friends at Modeshift for hosting us and making this opportunity available to our membership.’
Nick Butler, Modeshift Chief Operating Officer said:
‘We’re delighted to be able to host our colleagues from ACT and we hugely appreciate the support of Team Modeshift Members from across the UK who are giving up their time to share their experience of managing the movement of spectators for major events. Our purpose is to support, inspire, and champion the work of our Members, so it’s fantastic to be able to champion the work of our Members on a global scale. We’re excited to develop our relationship with ACT as we work together to enhance everyday journeys.’
We’ll share more on the visit during the 24 to 28 March!
