Landor LINKS LIVE

As integrated transport moves up the agenda, this webinar will cover how bus services can increase connectivity in rural areas, and the benefits this unlocks.

The webinar will look at local authority experience of rural bus service routes and using DRT to enable access to transport, focusing on Surrey County Council. It will also cover the practical considerations for bus franchising and network design in rural areas with recent learning from the WSP bus team.

The panel will be joined by the team from the University of Leeds and the University of the West of England, which evaluated the DfT’s Rural Mobility Fund, to discuss their further work on calculating the value of DRT services and their contribution to local economies.

Finally, Max MacDonald will look at some of the DRT designs which can support integrated transport in rural areas, including flexible routes along corridors and feeder services that enable people to connect to onward bus and rail options.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are often discussed as a technological breakthrough but their real significance lies in how they could reshape our cities, transport systems, economies and everyday lives.

From safety and congestion to planning, data governance, infrastructure, public transport, equity and jobs - the impact of CAVs goes far beyond the vehicle itself.

This panel brings together expert voices from policy, industry and research to explore:

• What impact could CAVs realistically have in the next 5–15 years?
• What are the risks if we get it wrong?
• How do we create a truly inclusive CAV ecosystem?
• And what should local and regional authorities be preparing for now?

Join us for a candid, cross-sector discussion on what CAVs could mean for mobility systems, inclusive transport and whether we are planning for transformation or reacting to disruption.

The fifth in our Delivering 20 webinar series explores how reducing speed limits from 30mph to 20mph in built-up areas has the potential to play a transformative role in achieving the UK Government’s ambitious road safety targets - including a 65% reduction in casualties, rising to 70% for children and young people.
This webinar brings together leading voices from across the sector to explore how 20mph limits are already delivering measurable safety benefits in communities across the UK.
Hear directly from councillors and local authority officers who have successfully implemented 20mph schemes, sharing real-world insights into casualty reduction outcomes, public engagement, and delivery challenges.
We’ll also examine:

• The key barriers to wider 20mph adoption and how they can be overcome
• The role of the Government’s Road Safety Strategy in enabling a national approach
• Lessons from Wales, where a default 20mph limit was introduced in 2023 and casualty reductions are being sustained

Plus, get an exclusive preview of the upcoming Vision Zero Conference in Birmingham on 30 June.

Enforcement Excellence 2026 brings together local authorities, policymakers, transport professionals and technology providers to explore the evolving role of enforcement in managing roads, public spaces and urban environments.

As pressures on local authorities continue to grow, enforcement is no longer simply about issuing penalties. It plays a critical role in ensuring compliance, enabling access, supporting vulnerable users and maintaining the safe and efficient operation of towns and cities.

At the same time, new approaches to charging and pricing are emerging as essential tools to manage congestion, improve air quality and support long-term funding.

This year’s conference introduces a dedicated focus on Charging for Movement, exploring how enforcement and charging are increasingly working together to shape behaviour and deliver better outcomes.

Through expert presentations, panel discussions and parallel streams, the event will combine strategic insight with practical delivery — covering everything from Blue Badge enforcement and anti-social behaviour through to Clean Air Zones, road user charging and future funding models.

Key Themes

•    Parking enforcement and compliance
•    Moving traffic regulations and enforcement powers
•    Road user and emissions charging schemes
•    The Blue Badge scheme: access, misuse and reform
•    The results and impact of National Blue Badge Awareness Week
•    Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) and anti-social behaviour
•    Pavement parking, fly-tipping and environmental enforcement
•    Managing electric vehicle charging bays

Time for Trams is a bold new annual gathering for the people shaping the future of urban transport in the UK.

This is not just another conference.

It is a rallying point for political leaders, policy makers, investors and delivery experts who recognise that Britain needs to move faster - and think bigger - when it comes to mass transit.

At its heart, Time for Trams is about one question: How do we deliver new tram networks faster, more affordably, and at scale?

The UK doesn’t lack ambition.
It lacks delivery at pace.

Time for Trams is about changing that.

Mobility Hubs 2026 is the UK’s leading conference dedicated to the planning, delivery and evolution of mobility hubs.

Bringing together national policymakers, local authorities, transport operators, planners, and solution providers, the event explores how hubs can connect modes, shape places, and support the transition to a more sustainable, integrated transport system.

Whether you are developing your first hub, expanding a network, or refining existing schemes, this conference provides practical insight, real world case studies, and the connections needed to move projects forward.

Each year, the event is hosted by a different city. In 2026, Leicester provides the backdrop, offering a live example of how mobility hubs can support wider ambitions around growth, health, and decarbonisation.
