Commuting and Health – Research and Policy Forum

21st January 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

10.00am – 2pm, 21 January 2015, Pitt Building, Cambridge

  • Researchers have been following the travel and physical activity patterns of commuters since 2009, seeking to understand more about why people use different modes of transport and how this is related to physical activity, health and wellbeing.
  • A key aim of the study has been to assess the impact of new transport infrastructure in the form of the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, which opened in 2011 and provides dedicated traffic-free facilities for buses, cyclists and pedestrians.
  • This Research and Policy Forum is an opportunity to learn more about our findings and discuss their implications for health, planning and transport policy. Following a ‘marketplace’ format, the event will combine short plenary sessions with the opportunity to visit a variety of stands to discuss particular topics in greater depth, and exchange ideas with researchers and local and national policymakers.
