The CATCH project is held its final conference on 13 December 2011 in the University of West of England in Bristol, UK.  

The final conference presented research from the project, and presented the CATCH knowledge platform in the context of a variety of co-benefits that a low carbon transport will bring to health, safety, the economy and to planning. It was demonstrated how the CATCH knowledge platform links to these different areas by providing information and improving communication between the general public and transport professionals. Presentations from experts from different fields detailed the wider benefits of a low carbon transport future.
