Workshop: Public Transport and Large Events - Public Transport Makes Large Events Possible (and Successful)

Public transport is an essential part of making large events successful. While large events can draw a crowd, it is public transport that gets that crowd to the venue. From the Olympics to the Superbowl and megastar concerts, public transport always supports the success of events.

UITP organized the first workshop in partnership with NJ Transit and CAIT, Rutgers University on 17 June 2024. The event attracted more than 50 participants. As agreed during the workshop, to do this well public transport operators and authorities focus on both preparedness and execution. Working together with other sectors is crucial in this.

UITP is organizing a series of workshops to discuss best practices in managing major events for public transportation. The second edition of UITP Workshop will focus on learning from Paris Olympics 2024 success and role of security to manage these events.
