AET Transport and Mobility Forum

The AET Transport and Mobility Forum promotes active engagement of AET members and member-groups with each other and with other like-minded transport organisations through supporting and hosting a range of activities including online webinars, seminars and discussions on a wide range of transport and transport related topics of interest. We welcome new members and new ideas about transport and how we talk about transport.

Upcoming webinar

The long view: The long road to reducing the need to travel – will we get there?

FREE Webinar: Thursday 8 January 2026
10.00-11.00 GMT / 11.00-12.00 CET

TMF is proud to present the inaugural address by a Fellow of the Association for European Transport. For this first edition, Michael Bach (UK), AET Council member and AET Fellow since 2023, will reflect on the essence of his outstanding and inspiring career as a planner and consultant. In his talk, he will explore a fundamental question for the future of mobility: Can we meaningfully reduce the need to travel through an integrated approach to land-use and transport policies in order to help achieve our sustainability goals? Daniëlle Snellen (PBL, NL), AET Board Member, will not only respond to Michael’s insights but will also guide the discussion as moderator. Join us for this thought-provoking session and share your views: Can we really get there? The webinar will be kindly hosted by Christopher Cary (Atkins, UK) and chaired by András Munkácsy (KTI, HU), from the TMF Working Group.
