Bottom-up grassroots innovation in transport: Motivations, barriers and enablers

This peer-reviewed journal article was one of the first publicly available academic outputs investigating ‘grassroots’ innovation in the context of the design of sustainable transport systems. This research triggered subsequent Technology Strategy Board funding for grassroots innovators associated with the research project and administered under the Ordnance Survey-led Geovation programme. This enabled further work on the design of sustainable transport solutions by the same research team, with the focus being on issues of user engagement, user acceptance, usability and added value associated with the design of the innovations.

This 5-year project, Ideas in Transit, was funded by the EPSRC, Technology Strategy Board and Department for Transport under the Future Intelligent Transport Systems Programme.
