The FTVG Steering Group has awarded nearly £30,000 initial funding to five project teams

The Future Transport Visions Group (FTVG) is pleased to announce the 2024 cohort of projects awarded research funding through the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund (RJRF) .

After an engaging few months of workshops and collaboration involving over 60 participants, the FTVG Steering Group has awarded nearly £30,000 initial funding to five project teams.  Participants in each team will spend the next three months undertaking their project to shape the future of transport.

The five successful projects are:

• Collaboration of Landowners and Local Authorities in the Building Of Rural Active Travel Infrastructure

• Analysis of vehicle size and collision severity 

• The Micro-Mobility Mindset: A study into the behaviours of the UK public towards shared micro-mobility

• London Luton Airport: Employee insights and AI nudges towards sustainable staff access 

• Feasibility of universal charging infrastructure for electric motorcycles in Uganda and UK. 

Over the coming months the FVTG will feature each project in more detail with a project focus article.

All groups will present their findings at an FTVG Forum in 2024/5 where a winning project will also be selected.  Final project presentation showcase details are being planned with more details to follow.
