Professional Summary
Phil joined CTS in January 2005 as Professor of Transport Policy, after a career at University College London (student mostly 1962-1969 ; research associate 1969-1974); at the Greater London Council (transport planner, 1974-1979); head of the Transport Studies Unit at Oxford University (1979-1995) and UCL again (Professor of Transport Policy, 1996-2004). From 1994 to 2004 he was Director of TSU as the ESRC's designated research centre in the field of transport. He is associated with the precepts of the 'New Realism' in transport policy, developed in a programme initiated by the Rees Jeffreys Road fund 1989-1991, and with the move from equilibrium to dynamic methods of travel demand analysis.
He has been active in advisory work for public, private, voluntary and overseas agencies in the field of transport, notably as chair of the panel of advisers helping the Deputy Prime Minister write the 1998 White Paper on transport, and previously as a long term member of the Standing Advisory Committee of Trunk Road Assessment, and co-author of its reports on environmental appraisal (1992), induced traffic (1994) and economic impacts (1999). He was a non-executive director of Dover Harbour from 1989 to 2005, and chair of its remuneration committee. He was founding editor of the journal Transport Policy, and is editor-in-chief of the international journal Transportation Research, Policy and Practice.
