Led by Mobility Policy Lab and UK Unplugged, this is a collaborative, hands‑on initiative to develop a Transport Box – an engagement tool bringing together transport professionals, neurodivergent young people, young people with learning difficulties and communities. Inspired by the Mobility Camp unconference and UK Unplugged’s Activity Boxes, the project will enable place‑based co‑design in Leeds and Stockport, creating activity boxes that explore transport challenges in an accessible way.
Aimed particularly at neurodivergent young people and those from low‑income backgrounds or engaged with Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), the Transport Box seeks to increase engineers’ confidence in engaging with these groups, encourage exploration of street environments, and introduce key engineering concepts through creative play. Engineers will receive training, take part in co‑design sessions, and help to distribute boxes.
