Integrated Public Transport
Achieving rapid decarbonisation requires a radical overhaul of surface transport in the UK. Due to the convenience of motorised transport, road traffic in Great Britain increased by 29% from 1990 to 2018. Despite increased fuel efficiency of vehicles, greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in the UK have increased by 6% from 1990 to 2017, with this rise in air pollution resulting in widespread impacts. The impacts of this on our health and quality of life are extreme and widespread, with the WHO deeming more than 40 UK cities unsafe due to their high levels of pollution.
