Policy and Strategy Development – Take part in our Masterclass on Monday 10 March
Join us next month in London for a free, in person masterclass on policy and strategy development for local transport authority officers. Building on our recent introductory webinar, this event offers a valuable opportunity to deepen your expertise and collaborate with peers across the region.
The day will be led by industry experts James Gleave (TfSE), John Collins (Arup), and Steven Bishop (Steer).
Spaces are limited to 40 officers, but there is no cap on the number of officers per authority. A minimum of 20 attendees is required to run the session in person.

You said. We did
In response to a growing interest in the impact modelling can have on active travel planning, TfSE’s Analysis Manager, Dr Johsua Jiao, published a blog about different methodologies for forecasting active travel demand. This emphasises that choosing the right modelling approach depends on the scheme’s objectives and complexity. We are offering the opportunity for a deep dive on this subject in a future webinar, where Joshua can walk attendees through a range of past, present, and future examples.
Want to get involved?
If you’re interested in participating, please contact coe@transportforthesoutheast.org.uk. We are particularly keen to base it around recent case studies so please get in touch with any you are willing to share with us, so we can begin developing this exciting programme of support.
Case studies
Talking of case studies, since the launch of the Centre of Excellence last June, we have published 26, all of which showcase the great work of local transport authorities and partners across the region. This growing collection reflects the strong commitment to knowledge sharing, harnessing the wealth of expertise and resources within (and beyond) the region.
The case studies have quickly become the most visited area of the site, demonstrating how valuable real-world insights and shared experiences are to driving better transport outcomes.
If you have any case studies that highlight best practice, innovative approaches, or lessons learned, we’d love to feature it. By sharing your work, you can inspire peers, influence future projects, and help support the future of transport planning. Please get in touch with any examples that demand to be seen by a wider audience of peers and industry colleagues coe@transportforthesoutheast.org.uk.
