I’m a transport planner and this is my blog.

I’m lucky to have had a fascinating career. I’ve always tried to challenge the status quo, and I have a passion for using data analysis to produce insights on key issues.

Transport is vital to life, but it also has a huge impact on us. It shapes our cities and towns, consumes vast amounts of energy and produces copious emissions. We seem to accept the risks it comes with; road crashes kill well over a million people annually around the world, and bad air quality from transport fumes and particles kill even more.

In my blog articles, I try to throw light on some of the craziness I’ve seen in our quest to keep people and goods moving. I hope you enjoy them!
