North West
Welcome to the North West Transport Planning Society homepage
The North West branch of the Transport Planning Society organise a regular programme of events and activities in the region. Dave Whyte is the branch representative and works alongside a team of volunteer TPS members to help plan and organise activities.
If you would like to contact the North West branch or are interested in joining please submit your enquiry using the form on the Enquiries/Join Us page.
Please note that all our TPS Regional Branches are run entirely by volunteers and we appreciate your patience whilst you await a response. If your enquiry is urgent please contact the TPS national offices using either the ‘contact’ tab on the main menu or by clicking here.
Our overall aim is to raise the profile of transport planning in the North West and to provide a focus for transport professionals in terms of sharing best practice, highlighting new initiatives and policy developments, and providing networking opportunities. We also hope to stimulate and contribute to debates on key contemporary transport planning issues.
We work closely with the TPS's supporting Institutions (ICE, RTPI, CILT(UK) and IHT) to provide a forum for bringing together people from these bodies with a direct interest in transport. We also work with other sectors where relevant (e.g.health, education and economic development), to highlight the wider context for transport planning.
The NW Committee has recently organised an e-survey of transport professionals in the region. This has provided invaluable information on future priorities for TPS activities and events.
