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, reduces inequality, and supports a vibrant, productive and decarbonised economy.

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.

"I live in a village with a limited bus service. I do wonder what will happen when I can no longer drive. Rural services are being cut as councils no longer have the money to support them. There has to be a better way."

David, Wiltshire
