Timed agenda published
The three-week event, titled ‘More cycling, safer cyclists: how can we make it safer for more people to cycle, more often?’, will be aired free-to-all during June 2021, commencing Monday 7 June.
The programme will comprise a mix of pre-recorded and live content including video presentations, podcasts, workshops and discussions.
Organisers have now published a timed agenda, outlining when sessions are taking place.
Opening the event will be Sharon Goodsell, head of vulnerable road user safety at the DfT, with a pre-recorded presentation.
Sharon will speak about a review of The Highway Code to improve safety for cyclists, pedestrians and horse riders. This was a priority for the DfT following a consultation on cycle safety where it was identified as a key action to enable more people to cycle and walk safely.
A consultation on the proposed changes generated the highest response rate the DfT has ever known, and Sharon will outline the feedback and next steps.
