The Greener Transport Council, along with its 17 members, has published a manifesto for decarbonising transport, in which this leading group of transport professionals are calling for a national focus on behaviour change to achieve a substantial road traffic reduction over the next eight years.

The manifesto pulls no punches in making clear that the actions needed this decade to decarbonise transport are stark and require national leadership.

While the manifesto welcomes the July 2021 Transport Decarbonisation Plan as a necessary first step, it goes on to state that urgent attention must now be given to reducing the volume of traffic on our roads and that 60% of the decarbonisation task for transport needs to be done in the next decade if we are to be on track for the net zero target.
