In LTT magazine, LTT881, available for subscribers to access.
We are pleased to advise you, as a subscriber, that our latest issue, LTT881, has just been published and is available for you to access.
Transport policy remains a high-profile area of our coverage with the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, detailed legislative proposals from the King’s Speech on automated vehicles, the continuing controversies over HS2, and the preparations for COP28, all producing major stories.
Other policy-related topics include progressing the Government’s plans for major infrastructure planning reform, further steps in the Welsh Government’s transport policy implementation, and work by a number of the sub-national transport bodies, including Transport for the North and Transport for the South East.
We are pleased to provide an insightful and comprehensive review of the recent Modelling World event by Tom van Vuren and a critique of the National Infrastructure Commission’s recent National Infrastructure Assessment as it relates to transport by David Metz. Meanwhile, Editorial Director, Peter Stonham, suggests that there is a missing perspective in discussion about the future of transport in that views from beyond the transport establishment and institutions could provide more original and challenging takes on the subject.

A 30-year journey
Local Transport Today has been providing a unique service of news, analysis and comment about everything relating to transport at urban, conurbation, rural and regional levels in Britain for over 30 years.
Founded as a magazine in 1989, it quickly became required reading for planners and transport managers in local authorities, transport service providers, consultants and specialist suppliers and all those researching and studying the challenges of providing mobility and accessibility for people and businesses all around the UK.
Over the years, conferences and seminars, online information resources and other networking and knowledge exchange activities - including an annual Local Transport Summit - have been added to the mix.
During the Covid-19 lockdown this year, LTT introduced a regular fortnightly series of online conversations which became must-attend discussions for those tackling the impacts of the pandemic on local transport.
The most recent innovative step has been the switch to digital publication including the LTT digital platform, providing an enhanced reader experience for you in accessing LTT content. This brings together the opportunity to read the complete copy of the magazine digitally - and print it out if required - with the facility to explore its contents as individual items. This platform is designed to suit both desktop and handheld devices. There are also direct links to all featured websites and email addresses mentioned in the magazine.
