public transport

If the UK is to meet its 2050 net-zero targets, a place-based approach must be adopted to prioritise reducing the need to travel and encouraging active travel and public transport wherever possible.

Welsh ministers have launched a strategy for consultation that lays the groundwork for a new transport policy.

Although welcome, plans to decarbonise transport need to link to spatial planning and transport policies should provide a ‘clear route map’ to net-zero 2050.

Londoners are being ‘locked into 20th century patterns of car ownership’ because new developments do not enable residents to make sustainable travel choices.
