Rose and Jo present ECO Stars toolkit

Dr Rose Bailey and Jo Barnes presented their work on the Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of the South Yorks ECO Stars scheme at the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, Sheffield last Wednesday.  The presentation and toolkit demonstration were very well received by an audience including the ECO Stars steering group, fleet operators, and David Pryke (DfT) and Robert Vaughan (Defra). This Q&QA work builds on one of the key recommendations from an Evaluation study that UWE undertook on the South Yorks ECO Stars scheme in 2011.

Jo and Tim presented the draft conclusions and recommendations of their recent evaluation of the ECO Stars fleet recognition scheme to members of the South Yorkshire Steering Group in Barnsley last Wednesday 6th April. The draft report and presentation were very well received and generated a lot of useful points which have subsequently been brought into the final report submitted yesterday.
