Transport and tech sector pandemic impact views sought

A survey of those involved in the transport and tech areas about the impact the COVID-19 restrictions has on them is sought by ITS New Zealand.

It’s studying how organisations, business confidence and projects already underway have been affected.

“While we recognise that the full impacts of COVID-19 are not yet fully known, our objective is to better understand how everyone has been affected, so that we may identify common experiences key learnings and opportunities for the future as New Zealand works towards transport goals, riding out a recession and restarting the economy.”

The 10-15 minute survey

is open to members and non-members, organisations and individuals, businesses, academia and government.

Responses will remain anonymous and ITS NZ says it doesn’t share any personal details.

Meanwhile, ITS NZ presents an online presentation On-Demand Transport: A safe, flexible Public Transport solution for a COVID-19 world on April 26, with a recap and question and answer session on April 28 at 12.30pm.

Ben Hague of on-demand leaders Via in Australia and Jeremy Dickson of Environment Canterbury explore how COVID-19 is impacting transport models, personal protection for essential workers and restricted travel, and changes in the transport supply chain for essential goods and services.
