Alastair Hanton – a tribute
The Foundation for Integrated Transport’s existence owed much to Alastair. We will all miss him, his advice and support, and, above all, his kindness a word that sums him up best.
The Foundation for Integrated Transport was formed by the late Dr Simon Norton in 2014 to make transport better for people and the environment.

We fund projects that will help to make this vision a reality.
