Led by Sharmin Nasrin (Arizona State University) in collaboration with INTALInC, Acumen Haven, Work for a Better Bangladesh and the Transport Professionals’ Forum Bangladesh, this webinar provides an overview of a new project, Sustainable Traffic Management Systems. It is also an opportunity for you to help shape the project and contribute to more equitable public transport in Bangladesh.

Traffic congestion is a major challenge in Bangladesh, disproportionately affecting the everyday lives of low-income people. For those who rely on legunas, buses, and other affordable transport options to get around, congestion has a direct impact on time, money, health, and quality of life. Public transport stuck in traffic delays and extends journey times for passengers, while pedestrians are exposed to traffic fumes and forced to navigate dangerous road conditions. For drivers, many of whom come from similarly low-income backgrounds, congestion limits opportunities to improve their livelihoods.

Join us on Tuesday 21 January 2025 at 2:00pm (UK) / 8:00pm (Bangladesh) to help shape this new, research-into-practice collaborative project. With introductory presentations from Karen Lucas (INTALInC, Manchester Urban Institute) and Sharmin Nasrin (Arizona State University), and an interactive panel chaired by Jim Walker (Walk21), learn about and contribute to a project that brings together low-income groups with traffic police to develop an innovative, self-funding model aiming to improve public trust in government agencies and support the redevelopment of traffic infrastructure in Bangladesh for everyone’s benefit.
