Better Transport

Spending cuts a crisis – or an opportunity 

The Government's current spending review could shape the future of transport for years.

As detailed in our Smarter Cuts report, cuts to bus or rail services could have devastating impacts. By contrast, big cuts to road building would be a benefit in themselves, and could save money better spent on sustainable transport. 

Track developments and join the debate

As we work to get the best outcome for sustainable transport, we'll post briefings, reports, and results here:

• Read our Smarter Cuts report, which shows how the Government can minimise the impact of cuts
• Find out why green transport is vital to the economy, providing almost half a million jobs
• Read our briefing on the Emergency Budget of June 2010
• Find out why vital bus services are under threat
• Learn why new toll roads are not the answer

We're also beginning the debate about the best place to make cuts, and will submit revised comments before the autumn's pre-Budget report. We're keen to hear your views about what the Government should cut and what it should protect.
