Training session on "Evolving the economic appraisals for land transport investments"

Webinar on "Evolving the economic appraisals for land transport investments"

This training aimed to contribute to stakeholders' better understanding of issues inherent to applying conventional models for appraising the economic value of land transport investment proposals. It highlighted the financial and economic value of public transport, walking and cycling, and provided guidance and peer-exchange opportunities to evolve conventional economic appraisals for land transport in support of sustainability and decarbonisation goals.

The training was co-organised by SLOCAT and MobiliseYourCity Partnership and is based on a policy paper developed under the SLOCAT and the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) around transport economics.

The session's recording has been uploaded on our YouTube channel.
