NEED FOR A STRATEGY FOR MANCHESTER & EAST CHESHIRE
In a new think piece (January 2014) Keith Buchan argues that the strategic dimension to transport planning is being lost, and new strategic corridors being created without properly understanding theIr impact.
BACK CATALOGUE
Although
we have produced over a hundred reports only a few of them are currently
available in printed form. We are at present working on a project
to assemble our publications for
electronic transmission. In response to a request for one of them,
we have produced a PDF version of our 1995 report concerning a traffic
restraint method without using price, tested for Norwich.

LOW CARBON
POLICIES FOR OUTER LONDON
In addition,
the MTRU report on developing new transport policies to avoid
climate change, focussing on outer London, has now been published
(October 2006). It was sponsored by the newly titled London Councils
(previously the ALG - still representing the 33 London Boroughs) and
the Transport 2000 Trust.
