INTERVIEW SERIES “A DIGITAL ERA FOR TRANSPORT”

When TRA 2018’s slogan of “A Digital Era for Transport” was first discussed, all the organising members expressed a common overall understanding. This slogan describes one of the most crucial transformation processes for future transport and mobility systems. Still, in spite of this overall understanding, there remain so many varied views and opinions that it seems to be the perfect topic for the type of wide-ranging conference that TRA aims to be. This is why, in the upcoming TRA newsletters, you will find interviews with each of the platforms involved in the organisation of TRA, explaining their views on why “A Digital Era for Transport” is important to TRA.
