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.

We are finalising an evidence review on kerbside space reallocation in neighbourhood and residential streets and we need to fill some gaps in a small number of areas.
We would be grateful if you or your colleagues could share any published work relevant to the following areas:
- EV charging on residential streets (e.g. on-street, lamppost charging)
- Green/blue infrastructure at the kerbside or carriageway
- Kerbside access control and priority uses (e.g. residents, micro-mobility, freight)
- Residential-street kerbside reallocation, including parking removal or repurposing [...]
Applications are now open for a PhD within the University of Southampton’s Transportation Research Group, focusing on the use of cargo bikes as a mode of family travel.
Cargo bikes are increasingly promoted as a sustainable alternative to car-based travel, yet their role as care infrastructure within family settings remains under-explored. This project aims to investigate how cargo bikes function in family contexts and how their use may shape everyday mobility practices, children’s experiences, and transport equity. The project is intentionally flexible and will be developed in collaboration with the successful candidate. [...]
