I am delighted to inform you that the following paper by PTRG researchers won the Best Paper award in the Transport Policy Stream at the 14th World Conference in Transport Research at Tongi University, Shanghai, China yesterday:

Graham Currie and Alexa Delbosc ‘An Empirical Model of the Psychology of Deliberate and Unintentional Fare Evasion’.

This paper results from the contract research engagement with Public Transport Victoria.  From our viewpoint this provides a strong academic endorsement of our work which was very successful in reducing revenue loss from fare evasion.  The paper was selected out of over 200 papers from leading researchers in many countries.  The picture shows Professor Currie being presented with the award by Professor Yoshi Hayashi, President of the World Conference on Transport Research Society.
