AUNT-SUE at "Transport and Social Exclusion" Conference in Leeds

On 23rd February, Juliet Solomon, who is leading on Benchmarking in WP1, gave a paper at a Waterfront conference, “Transport and Social Exclusion: Three Years On” sponsored by PTEG, IHT, T200 Trust, and the Disability Rights Commission. The conference was designed to review progress, stimulate a renewed focus on the issue, and highlight innovative work.

The AUNT-SUE presentation used evidence from all the projects to explain the links between the separate components of the overall research project, relationships which could almost be viewed as symbiotic in the context of the “whole journey”.
