Through innovative solutions, case studies, and experts in the field, by the end of this course, you should start to formulate an answer.


Disover the structural, cultural, and psychological factors influencing behaviour


Travel behaviour is influenced by a range of interdependent factors, from structural factors such as how cities are built to a person’s personal values.


You’ll explore the many different factors involved in people’s transport decisions, including current policies and the often difficult logistics of using low-carbon transport.
