Environmental improvements through transport
- We will support greater use of public transport and alternative forms of transport such as cycling and walking. We will work with members of the public and key organisations to co-produce our work in this area, so that interested people have a clear understanding of the ambitions and challenges we face. In addition to reducing greenhouse gases, these actions will also have a positive impact on local air quality and health.
- We will support a robust local network of charging points to encourage people to make the switch to electric vehicles and we will explore how this will align to our parking strategy.
- We will continue to work with Active Travel England and others to deliver more safe walking and cycling routes, including refreshing our Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan.
- We will reimagine our engagement with residents regarding Integrated and Sustainable Transport.
- We will further enhance our support for rural communities through the development of our Rural Mobility bus services trial and explore new, more sustainable ways of connecting rural communities.
