Date: 11 March 2009
Website: www.pacts.org.uk

This conference - organised by the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) - will explore the opportunities to make safety and sustainability complementary approaches. For example: how can we create environments that will encourage people to walk and cycle? Can business travel become both safe and sustainable? Can we identify the policy trade-offs needed to decide which should take priority?

The speakers come come from local authorities, the private sector, consultants and user groups, each bringing a specific perspective to the debate on developing a safe, sustainable transport system.

Louise Ellman MP, Co-chair PACTS

Jim Fitzpatrick MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary, transport
