Transport systems shape access to employment, education, healthcare, and everyday opportunities. Yet conventional transport planning methodologies often fail to account for how infrastructure and service decisions affect different communities and social groups.
Tackling Transport Poverty: Strategies for Equitable Mobility is a professional training course that addresses this gap by bringing social equity analysis into transport planning practice.
Developed by University College London (UCL), FACTUAL, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC), with support from EIT Urban Mobility, the programme combines social equity research with practical transport planning approaches.
Drawing on spatial analysis, accessibility modelling, qualitative fieldwork methods, and applied policy evaluation, participants will learn how to identify, measure, and address transport poverty in different contexts.
The course explores topics including inclusion, accessibility, social exclusion, and transport justice through four learning modules and a real-world applied case study, totalling 30+ hours of learning.
Participants can choose between two alternative learning pathways: a fully online format or an in-person pathway that includes a compulsory one-day workshop in Barcelona on November 2nd.
Scholarships are available.
