In order to reach our emissions targets, Dr Brian Caulfield says we need to 'throw the kitchen sink at it.' There is hope however, that we can have better, safe public transport to enrich our lives and get those emissions down. First we need a massive investment in public transport - busses, cycling infrastructure, incentives and more. Dr Brian Caulfield is an Associate Professor and Head of Discipline in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in Trinity. He has been active in transport research for over 10 years and to date has attracted €4.8m in research funding from both National and EU funding sources.
