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.

The fair and practical solutions would, 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.
