Giles Semper & Sophie Tyler will address a workshop session of the European Conference on Mobility Management, due to be held at Stamford Bridge football ground from 4^th to 6^th June. The conference is the leading gathering of mobility management practicioners, and attracts in excess of 400 delegates.

Their paper forms part of a session on Workplace Travel Plans across Europe, with other contributions from Netherlands and British Airports Authority (BAA). The topic is ‘The Bankside Master Travel Plan: providing a framework to support cycling & walking promotion ‘.

Commented Giles: ‘Sophie and I have spoken about the Bankside Travel Plan in a number of contexts now, but this is the most prestigious. It also coincides with the fact that the Plan has just received a special mention from the jury of the PEWTA prize. However we are aware that the Plan sets some pretty ambitious targets for increasing walking and cycling in Bankside, and that we would rather be speaking about achieving these. So watch this space for more developments!'

As well as the seminar spot, Better Bankside is the focus of one of the site visits that takes place ahead of the main ECOMM proceedings. More than 50 delegates will stroll past Tate Modern & Shakespeare's Globe and hear about the regeneration of Bankside, as well as the transport challenges the area faces in years to come.
