Produced by the urban transport publication, Eurotransport and hosted by 817 Transport for Greater Manchester, the one day conference and gala dinner will once again prove to be an unrivalled event for collaboration and high-standard networking.

Improving vehicle safety is a key strategy used in addressing international and national road casualty reduction targets and in achieving a safer road traffic system.  In response to this the Mayor of London and 1466 Transport for London (TfL) has launched a world-leading safety programme to drive major improvements across London’s bus network.

Although the Capital’s bus fleet is one of the safest in the world, with 2.5 injuries for every million passenger journeys, the Mayor and TfL are committed to reducing collisions further and have created a brand new six-point programme to improve safety.

TfL’s Bus Collision Reduction Programme manager Jane Lupson will discuss the programme, including:  Development of  a world leading bus safety standard for London;  Update for TfL’s bus contracts to include new safety incentives; Provision of a UK-first Incident Support Service for those affected by fatal or serious injuries; Publishing of additional bus collision data and make it more accessible, Greater transparency on bus collision investigations; and a new safety training module for all 24,700 drivers.
