The UTSG Electronic Mailing List
An Email based mailing list has been established by the Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG). The list provides an electronic discussion forum and information resource for researchers in the field of transport primarily, but not exclusively, in the academic community.
The list was established in October 1993, and has a steadily growing membership, including researchers in all continents of the World.
The aim of the list is to facilitate information sharing, (e.g. news of new research, conferences, seminars and workshops) and to promote links, collaborative working, joint problem-solving and mutual support. Depending on the level of usage of the list and on demand, sub-lists may be set up in the future for special interests or particular types of information.
The list is administered by the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. It is one of several hundred lists managed by the JISCmail facility funded by the Higher and Further Education Councils of the UK.

The workshop addresses gender, intersectionality and the smart mobility paradigm with focus on strategies, implementations and policy. Previous studies have pointed to transport and mobility as producing gendered stereotypes, and how notions of men and masculinity are being linked with speed and mobility; by contrast women and femininity are seen as synonymous with immobility and aligned with home and domesticity.

We are currently proposing a themed volume entitled: “Making equity work: management and financing of socially-targeted urban transport policies” in the journal “Research in Transportation Business and Management”. Please find below the call for papers with all the information about the invited topics related to this themed volume.
In the context of urban transport, an increasing volume of research suggests the emergence of policies and planning approaches seeking to contribute to the redistribution of costs and benefits of urban transport, in what can be seen as a positive move towards social equity in transport planning practice. Experiences from [...]

The Transport Studies Unit at the University of Oxford wants to hire a post-doctoral researcher for a two-year project focused on the effects of transport infrastructure that are widely considered to be 'pro-poor' (e.g. bus rapid transit, cable cars) on the everyday lives of vulnerable social groups in the city, such as the elderly, the disabled and single mothers in poor and/or informal neighbourhoods in one or more Latin American cities. The project will rework the concept of acceptability to reflect local perceptions and experiences of constraints on mobility and everyday practices. The ambition is to develop [...]
