Better Transport

In the runup to the election, we have a issued a manifesto calling on the parties to support some important policies and programmes to improve people's everyday transport.

We have focused on fair, practical solutions that could acheive the following within existing budgets:

• Improve public transport
• Cut CO2 emissions significantly
• Tackle obesity by getting more people walking and cycling
• Lower train fares
• Provide sustainable jobs
• Increase opportunity
• Reduce car use
• Connect communities

The manifesto was drawn up by Campaign for Better Transport, Campaign to Protect Rural England, CTC – the national cyclists’ organisation, Friends of the Earth and Living Streets.

The manifesto is issued at the end of a series of speeches we sponsored with the transport spokespeople from the three main parties.
