Turning Resistance Into Support for People-Oriented TransportYou know what to do technically. This course teaches you how to make it happen politically. | |
This course is for people who want to learn the "how" of making the transition from car-oriented to people-oriented transport systems, not the technical aspects, the political ones. It is for politicians, political advisors, public servants and community representatives. Contents:
All content is covered in 8 x 1-hour sessions. |
| I'm Russell King. I've spent 20 years in transport policy. During that time, I've worked on the policies everyone says are "too controversial." Bike lanes. Pedestrianised streets. Low traffic neighbourhoods. Reduced speed limits. Bus priority. Fare reforms. I've seen brilliant policies succeed. And I've watched brilliant policies fail. The difference was never the technical quality. It was always the political strategy. Over two decades, I built a playbook for navigating resistance. Not theory from textbooks. Real strategies from real policies. Now I want to share that playbook with you. Because our cities desperately need people-oriented transport systems. And the people who can make that happen need better tools. Not better technical knowledge. That's what this course gives you. The strategies I wish someone had taught me 20 years ago. The strategies I have not seen being taught anywhere else. |

Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Is this course just technical training on designing bike lanes and pedestrian infrastructure? A: No. We focus entirely on the policy, political strategies, and change management you need actually to move to people-oriented transport systems. Q: Will this work in my context? A: The course teaches principles and strategies that adapt to your local context. You'll learn how to audit your specific situation and develop a tailored implementation plan for your context. Q: How long before I see results? A: Some strategies (like school streets or cycling support programs) can show results within months. Others build over time. The course teaches you which quick wins to pursue first to build momentum for bigger changes. Q: What if we’ve already tried these policies and faced strong opposition? A: That's exactly why you need this course. The difference between success and failure is usually the change strategy, not the policy itself. You'll learn how to reframe, rebuild support, and try again successfully. Q: Is this live training or self-paced? A: Live training. Q: How many people will be on the course?
