2 | UK Transport Awards 2022 Welcome to the UK Transport Awards 2022 With an extremely turbulent start to the new decade, transportation companies have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. After a surge in online deliveries due to the work from home ‘revolution’, everyone working within both transport and logistics has had to step up and reach another level, with the resilience highlighted more than worthy of recognition! Now the world is beginning to emerge from the other side of the pandemic, and striving to achieve a ‘new normal’, everyone operating within the industry will need to adapt to a number of challenges and trends that are coming their way in 2022 and beyond, just as they have evidenced throughout the last 18 months! Across the UK, 68% of workers typically travelled to work by car. In 2019/20, 4.5 billion local bus passenger journeys in Great Britain accounted for 57% of all public transport journeys. Most modes of travel are used for a mixture of purposes, however over half (57%) of all trips by rail are for either commuting or business purposes. All of these statistics reinforce just how vital the transport industry is to keep the country running like clockwork! Sif Brookes | Senior Editor
