Hi I’m Rachel. I work in the transport consulting industry.
I build and help implement programs to cut traffic congestion and improve road safety.
I love working with highly motivated City Leaders who need results and want their town/city to be a great place to live, work and play.
I’m the Author of “Decongestion” due for release November 2014
In the last 14 years I have:
- spoken at more than 200 conferences/events around the world
- been hand-picked to partner high profile brands including BMW and the Guggenheim
- had my work showcased on BBC TV & Radio, ABC Radio, Disney Channel, SBS Cycling Central and in the Economist
- 2 TED talks
From my experience I know there are 3 major problems:
- Governments and Councils can not afford the cost of new transport infrastructure
- Suburban sprawl is creating complex and expensive transport demands
- 4 people are killed and 92 are injured each and every day on Australian road
To solve these problems I provide:
- Site specific technical advice and practical solutions as well as links to global specialists
- Education and travel behaviour change programs
- Training and events to make road safety and non car travel part of everyone’s daily life
I do what I do because I love igniting the fuse for change and helping people to make the changes that they want to see where they live, work and play.
I’m best known for solving safety and transport problems cost effectively.
I leave people feeling they have done it themselves.
