The transport sector is on the cusp of real change, driven by the need to decarbonise, to level up access to opportunities, and to optimise the use of public space and the efficiency of transport networks.

Making smarter and wider use of new technologies is key to this transport revolution – whilst always remembering that all viable solutions are driven by genuine need and must deliver relevant and innovative ways to transport people and goods.

Advances in operational software solutions, Artificial Intelligence and net zero motive power are likely to ramp up dramatically between now and 2030, offering travellers and businesses new choices for everyday travel needs.

The Future of Transport Forum will showcase the solutions that are being piloted and refined on the ground in the UK's Future Transport Zones – and beyond.

• Personal mobility: DDRT, shared bikes and e-bikes, shared e-scooters

• Integration of modes and networks: Mobility as a Service and mobility hubs

• The creation of safe and civilised roads and streets

• Smart ticketing and payment systems
