ITS:...no, it doesn't mean 'Independent Timber Supplier'. It's most definitely not that. Intelligent Transport System(s) is now a core part of a modern transport network, ensuring that data is used in the most optimal ways to enhance service delivery. ITS is an intricate interplay between technology, transport infrastructure and transport service. Our colleagues in UITP Asia-Pacific are putting on an comprehensive online course on ITS, 20-29 May featuring a slew of top-shelf trainers. The discounted registration rates for the course end on 10 May and places on the course are filling up fast, so get in now!

As part of our 'Learning Global to Act Local' series of webinars, coming up on 29 May, we've got a great lineup of speakers presenting case studies covering various facets of best practise Passenger Experience Design & Implementation from around the world. Hosted by Rob Mayo and Magda Robertson, this is an event you won't want to miss out on and is free for everyone to attend. Don't delay, register today! https://lnkd.in/dEvvGusQ

Given the increasing focus in our region on getting more people to use public transport, we've got a very topical webinar coming up on 29 May: "Passenger Experience Design in ANZ - Learning Global to Act Local" where we'll be looking at how other countries around the world have used PED to enhance their Public Transport Service provision in a 7-days-a-week context. You’ll learn how cities world-wide have created PT facilities and services that are easy to use, more accessible, more relevant to daily life and which have become sustainable generators of revenue through better ‘selling’ of PT infrastructure and service value. This webinar is free for everyone to join. Our last webinar - on ZEB in ANZ was well attended, so register right now to secure your (online) seat at the table! https://lnkd.in/dEvvGusQ

Aaaand...it's a wrap! Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar yesterday on Zero Emission Bus Fleet conversion work. It was great to have so many tune in to hear from those who are at the forefront of getting clean, quiet buses successfully running en masse in cities around the world. Learning Global to Act Local helps us in ANZ produce better outcomes overall. To all those who attended; we'll be sending you an email with a link to access all of the speakers' presentations along with responses to the questions you put to our specialists, that we ran out of time to answer during the webinar. Many, many thanks to Darek Koper, Calum Haslop, Ignacio Abud, Josep Enric García Alemany, Álvaro Rodríguez López de Guereña and Alok Jain 程艾樂 for sharing your knowledge and experience and to Rachel Hughes for moderating the webinar. We've got another decarbonisation event coming up you won't want to miss out on - a comprehensive 3-day classroom training course in ZEB Best Practise, set for 1-3 July where we'll deep-dive into the key aspects of effective planning, procurement, implementation and maintenance processes. This is a course specially designed to rapidly skill-enhance all those involved in Zero Emission Bus Fleet Roll-Outs. Go here for more information: https://lnkd.in/dBSMg-4w
