In the 20 years since the inaugural conference was held in Thredbo, Australia, (hence it becoming known as the Thredbo series) the series has established itself as the premier international forum dedicated to the analysis and debate of competition and ownership issues in land passenger transport. The objective of the conference series is to provide an international forum to examine passenger transport competition and ownership issues, reporting on recent research and experience and developing conclusions on key issues. The focus is on determining the effects of different forms of competition, ownership and organisation for land-based passenger transport on operators, users, governments / funders and society as a whole. The conference series is directed towards a broad audience of policy makers, planners, decision makers on infrastructure and service operators, consultants, researchers, academics and students, and is recognised as one of the most important international forums for analysis and debate of competition and ownership issues in land passenger transport. The conference typically features plenary sessions over four days and a series of intensive workshops based around keynote papers and a series of resource papers providing a range of international perspectives on each issue. There is a strong emphasis on what policy lessons can be learnt from recent experience internationally and what issues warrant further investigation. A large number of plenary papers are available online together with workshop reports.

Based on experiences from CIVITAS cities, this workshop invited participants to learn about effective solutions for green urban transport. The workshop looked at solutions in two thematic areas, namely: collective passenger transport, and safety and security. Participants learned what CIVITAS pioneering cities have achieved and how, and were informed of how they can replicate these measures in their own city contexts. Examples from CIVITAS cities were showcased to present what they have achieved through the implementation of their measures; how they cooperated with other cities; and finally, what they learned and how they made use of this knowledge.
