The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Southern
invite you to attend the
Transport Focus Presentation
Thursday 19th of August 2021 – commencing 5:30 PM
Location: GHD, 138 Victoria Street, Level 3
The CILT Southern Section is pleased to invite you to these transport focussed presentations that will cover two important and increasingly relevant topics: Speed Management and the NZ Upgrade Programme for Canterbury.
Between these presentations, we will cover some major programmes of transport investment which are being implemented over the next few years. The presentations are:
1. Speed Management, by Aaron Campion (Urban Connection).
Aaron will discuss public acceptance towards Speed Management, and the engineering stuff beyond the speed limit sign. Speed will be an increasingly topical subject as more speed management projects are rolled out on the network, as we seek to address road safety issues and implement Vision Zero through the Road to Zero strategy.
2. NZ Upgrade Programme Canterbury projects, by Michael Blyleven (Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency).
Mike is the Transport Planning Manager and NZ Upgrade Programme (NZUP) Canterbury Programme manager. He will introduce the NZUP, which is being delivered by the NZ Government in partnership with Waka Kotahi and KiwiRail, and the investment drivers, freight connections, and the importance of partner / stakeholder engagement. The scale of NZUP investment is significant with a strong mandate for delivery.
CILT Members, colleagues and guests are all welcome. Please RSVP via this Eventbrite link no later than 16th of August.
Commencing from 5:30 PM, with drinks and nibbles for a 6:00 PM presentation start.
There is on-street parking on Victoria St (free & unrestricted from 5 pm), and Wilsons off-street parking on Victoria St.
Thanks to our event sponsor GHD.
