An undergraduate studying at the University of Lincoln is currently completing a dissertation which is looking at how the public views the role of light rail in areas such as economic development, regeneration, and modal shift, alongside wider attitudes towards sustainable urban transport. And as part of his research he is asking members of the public, and those working in the transport sector, to complete a survey.
Lewis Drury-Tuck wants to gather insights into perceptions of tram and light rail metro systems in the UK through the survey to help him with completing his dissertation. This will not only go towards his degree but will also contribute to the wider discussion on the social and economic role of light rail within modern transport networks.
UKTram are supporting Lewis in his dissertation. Supporting learning and emerging voices across the sector remains an important part of their commitment to knowledge sharing and encouraging engagement with light rail and sustainable transport.
The survey can be completed here.
