- how individuals make transport choices
- forecasting future travel behaviour patterns (including Stated Preference and introduction to Logit modelling)
- equality and rural policy issues and social enterprises.

Delegates will have a detailed understanding of key issues in the growth of travel demand, techniques for managing and forecasting demand and aspects of transport policy development.
