In this Highways Voices podcast he explains why shared transport, ranging from car clubs and e-scooters to digital demand-responsive transit, is not just a trend but a strategic tool for modern transport planning, explaining how this approach intersects with public policy, urban design, and real-world user behaviour, aiming to deliver healthier, more connected communities.

You'll hear how shared mobility schemes are reshaping the transport ecosystem, but that even in London, there are still many gaps. He talks about e-bikes and e-scooters, their place in the puzzle and how safety issues are being addressed, and he and host Paul Hutton talk mobility hubs too, and how they could make it easier to take hassle-free, quick and convenient car-free journeys.
