This one day seminar is designed to bring together all those with a role or interest in public transport in Northern Ireland to examine the key issues for the government’s reform programme and establish the necessary outcomes in terms of delivery, performance and funding. The seminar will examine public transport policy in the Northern Ireland and European context and will feature a number of best practice case studies from elsewhere. Delegates attending will benefit from sharing in the expertise of a high profile panel of local and visiting speakers.

An efficient, high-performing transport system provides an essential backbone to any successful region – driving economic growth and competitiveness, attracting investment and promoting inclusion and access to services. For this reason, transport has established itself as a key policy issue for governments both locally and internationally and public transport is an important part of this policy agenda.

Featured speakers include:

	Catherine Mason Group Chief Executive, NITHCo/Translink		Steven Salmon International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and Director of Policy Development, Confederation of Passenger Transport UK
	Antoinette McKeown Chief Executive Consumer Council for Northern Ireland		Professor Austin Smyth Head of Department of Transport Studies University of Westminster
	Malcolm Reed former Scottish transport administrator (Transport Scotland, Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive, Strathclyde Regional Council)		Chris Watt PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
