Transport in COVID-19 and beyond
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had unprecedented effects on our lives, societies, economies and the planet.
It’s a terrifying time, yes. And it’s also a time of opportunity. It could be a time where existing divisions widen, or a time where we fundamentally refactor our societies to be equitable.
Things are likely to change fundamentally in some ways, and spring back to “the old ways” in others.
Much has been said about what the ‘new normal’ is, or could be. Lots of us - even those previously so certain about what it is - are now struggling to see what the new normal is once the crisis has passed.
Transport is part of this. It reflects how our world is, and how we want it to be. It can enrich our lives, or it can stifle opportunity.
It’s impossible to see what the future will bring, but that doesn’t mean we - a bunch of transport nerds - aren’t thinking about it a lot. And we want to know what you think. How you’re feeling. What you’re seeing happen. What you think might happen.
And what you _want_ to happen. Because we have the ability to affect our own futures.

What is the project all about?
We’re doing this as an international, evolving research project and conversation. We want _you_ to be involved in this.
We started with some brief insights from you. This was collected through this survey. You can see the live survey feedback in our open Google Sheet, We are now asking people to vote on, and contribute to, statements on the future of mobility. We are doing this through the excellent Pol.is system, where you can see to what degree people agree with you. We are doing this voluntarily because we feel it is an important conversation to have. Our open Google Doc explains more of the background behind this project. |
We are doing this project openly. but we care about your privacy.
The results from this survey are going to be public, so please don’t share any personal details (including email addresses) you don’t want publicly available. If you’d like us to actively include you in future conversations, please send us your details separately. We won’t share those details with any third parties without your express permission.
