Scottish Shared Transport Conference 2017
This event will take place on Thursday 21 September 2017 in the The Golden Lion Hotel, 8 -10 King St, Stirling.
Carplus Bikeplus is the national charity supporting shared transport in the UK. They promote the benefits of car clubs, bike sharing and 2+ carsharing to local authorities and developers, highlighting the potential of car clubs to enable behaviour change. Their Scottish Shared Transport Conference in Stirling next month is set to attract a large audience of planners and developers from across Scotland, and we hope you'll be able to join us.
Shared transport initiatives are helping create engaged communities, and a sustainable future for us all. The benefits of incorporating car clubs, and bike share schemes into new developments are wide-reaching. In partnership with the Royal Town Planning Institute, this year's Carplus Bikeplus conference will discuss the importance of planning for a low-carbon lifestyle, demonstrate viable car ownership alternatives, highlight successful projects, and provide access to those at the forefront of establishing new approaches to sustainable living in towns and cities.
For more information, visit the Carplus Bikeplus website, or register for the event today via Eventbrite.
