ABOUT JAMES COOPER
James is a researcher, academic and practitioner in the field of transportation. He has over 20 years experience as Director at Transport Research Partners, a full service consultancy focused on the social, economic, environmental and human aspects of transport worldwide, as well as academic and project management posts. in 2005, together with his close colleague Wim Faber, James established the Taxi Research Network, recognizing the need to treat taxi transport as integral to and part of the wider transportation environment, and critical to the economic life of a city and, differently, to that in rural locations. In 2007 James was given the title of Doctor for work in Regulatory Economics and Taxis, by Edinburgh Napier University, and that of Visiting Professor of Urban Transportation Regulation by the University of Missouri, St Louis a couple of years later. Dr. Cooper has supported, promoted, analyzed and challenged the taxi industry, in equal measure, ever since. James has remained active and engaged as the Managing Director of Transport Research Partners, as its founding Director, and throughout its growth. He now directs TRP activities in North America, while keeping an active involvement in projects in Europe.
