Transport for the South East

Last week our Lead Transport Planner, Katie Lamb, presented at the Gatwick Transport Forum on our Regional Active Travel Strategy & Action Plan (RATSAP). Her presentation covered the purpose, stages, and actions out of the RATSAP development; highlighting the need for continued and expanded coordination and collaboration across boundaries and organisations. Following presentations, Katie spoke on a panel with Nick Hill (Brighton & Hove Buses) about the importance of integrating active travel with public transport to support multi-modal and longer-distance journeys. Thank you for having us London Gatwick and congratulations on your exciting new partnership with Great Western Railways!
