Vision

Campaign for Better Transport’s vision is for all communities to have access to high quality, sustainable transport that meets their needs, improves quality of life and protects the environment.

Campaigns

We're campaigning for a cleaner, greener future with more frequent, affordable trams, buses and trains, less traffic and pollution, new and reopened rail lines, fewer domestic flights and a supported, sustainable bus network.

Research

How should bus services be funded? Which disused rail lines should be reopened? How does access to transport networks affect social exclusion, health and the economy? Our research helps shape all aspects of transport policy.

"When we first moved into the village, things were very different to now: the buses ran seven days a week. Over the years we have seen these services slowly erode."
