Centre wins funding to study transport investment impact

Planning, 10 April 2009

A national hub for transport research is being set up at Imperial College London, which is to work with University College London and the University of Leeds.

The UK Transport Research Centre will be funded by the DfT, the Scottish Government and the Economic and Social Research Council. Its £7.75 million programme will look at the impact of government investment in transport infrastructure and its effects on the labour market and the economy. Other projects will consider how to improve governance and decision-making in the transport system and how technological advances might affect future demand.
