Rail stations and transit hubs are more than ways to move people from A to B, they are catalysts for community regeneration and economic growth. That message framed the closing Keynote on day two, moderated by Bob Bennett of the Cities Today Institute and featuring Andy Byford of Amtrak and Greer Johnson Gillis of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority.
In “Completing the mass transportation jigsaw,” Andy reflected on his role in delivering London’s Elizabeth Line, a project credited with creating tens of thousands of jobs and adding an estimated 50 billion to the UK economy. He pointed to major US opportunities as well, from the revitalisation of Michigan Central Station to his ambition to transform New York’s Penn Station into “the world’s best train station”.
Greer brought the conversation to the everyday building blocks of mobility such as buses, ferries, paratransit and neighbourhood services that remain essential yet often inaccessible. Innovation, she said, is central to bridging these gaps. JTA has already launched the nation’s first autonomous public transport service in revenue operation, connecting residents to jobs, healthcare and entertainment using vehicles built in Detroit.
Both panellists stressed the importance of trust, transparency and long-term thinking. Communities must be involved from the start, they argued, especially when deploying new technologies, and continuity across political cycles is vital to sustaining progress. While major projects capture attention, maintaining systems, securing funding and ensuring future scalability are just as critical.
Their shared advice: think boldly, partner widely, and plan for the generations ahead.

Speaking at MOVE 2025 in London, Lillian Greenwood MP, the UK’s Minister for Future Roads, outlined a decisive roadmap for transforming transport across the country.
“Our roads matter…for our economy, for climate, for our very way of life,” said Greenwood. Framing roads as the “arteries of the nation,” she highlighted their foundational role in economic activity, noting that they carry 80% of goods in the UK.
Greenwood reaffirmed the government’s commitment to zero-emission transport, including the reinstated 2030 phase-out date for new petrol and diesel cars.
“If I could wave a magic wand and remove all road emissions, we would overnight reduce this country’s transport emissions by 90%,” she said, calling the ZEV mandate “the largest carbon-saving initiative across government.”
On automation, Greenwood introduced the newly launched Transport AI Action Hub and stressed the importance of regulation and safety standards.
“By 2027, we will have one of the most robust safety frameworks for self-driving in the world,” she said.
Sharing her experience in an autonomous vehicle navigating London traffic, she noted how it “safely accommodated cyclists and calmly avoided cats.”
Devolution also featured prominently, with Greenwood arguing that local leaders are best placed to shape transport priorities. “The best decisions over people’s daily journeys are made by those who know their communities,” she said, referencing over £18 billion in devolved funding to local and regional transport authorities.
Greenwood concluded with a clear message: “The future is now…and we’re acting fast to give people real choice in how they move.”
