| 摘要： | Senior figures in the transport sector were awarded some of the top gongs in the Queen's New Year's Honours list this year.Former HS_2 and Crossrail chairman Douglas Oakervee was knighted following his work chairing a review of HS_2's business case. The positive recommendations of the review, commissioned by the prime minister in 2019, helped save the project amid growing controversy over rising costs. HS_2's route plan has since been cut back by the Government.Laura Shoaf, managing director of Transport for the West Midlands, was given a CBE for services to economic regeneration in the region. She was also recently named one of the UK's first Violence Against Women and Girls Transport Champions, having been chosen by government to lead efforts to tackle the issue on public transport and highways.Another popular choice for a gong was Alan Benson, who chairs the accessibility charity Transport for All and is a former columnist of Highways' sister publication Transport Network. He was given an MBE for services to public transport for people with disabilities. |
