The UK transport sector faces both significant challenges and major opportunities. Post-COVID-19 reduced demand is putting public and private sector balance sheets under pressure. The Government and operators need to work together to plot their way back to a “new normal.” Opportunities include; new technologies for smart ticketing, network optimisation and helping achieve “Net Zero” carbon emissions for transport. The sector is also critical to the Government’s efforts to kick-start the economy by accelerating the delivery of new road and rail infrastructure.
