About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have an expert with us who's going to talk about the Certificate Programme in Inclusive Urban Transportation. Can you tell us a bit about this course and what inspired you to create it? GUEST: Absolutely, this program equips professionals with the skills to design and manage equitable, accessible transportation systems. I've seen firsthand the challenges faced by people with disabilities and those from lower-income backgrounds in using public transportation, and I wanted to make a difference. HOST: That's wonderful. Could you share some current industry trends that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Sure, there's a growing emphasis on universal design, mobility-as-a-service, and sustainable transportation planning. We're also seeing more data-driven decision-making in transportation, which is a key focus of our program. HOST: Interesting, and what are some of the challenges faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the lack of awareness and understanding of the needs of diverse user groups. Another is the need to balance the demands of various stakeholders, from transport operators to city planners and commuters. HOST: That sounds complex. Looking to the future, what do you think the future holds for inclusive urban transportation? GUEST: I believe we'll see more personalized, on-demand services that cater to the needs of all users. We'll also see greater use of technology to improve accessibility and reduce the environmental impact of transportation. HOST: It's exciting to think about the possibilities. Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the Certificate Programme in Inclusive Urban Transportation. GUEST: My pleasure, thank you for having me.
