Campaign for Better Transport, a transport campaign group, is writing to 622 MPs about the upcoming party conference season, suggesting they get there in a way that reflects their party’s green policies. By travelling by train, they could reduce the carbon footprints of this year’s events. If MPs were to drive rather than travel by train this would increase their carbon footprint by over 400 per cent. In order to understand their constituents’ concerns about fare rises, delayed trains and overcrowding, we believe that all politicians should experience rail journeys over the conference season.

New research (PDF, 2.5MB) shows that in many cities people are locked into driving cars rather than choosing to use them. Campaign for Better Transport’s comprehensive research, published today, showed that Nottingham is the least car-dependent city in England, closely followed by London and Brighton and Hove.
I care about transport. I don’t want a future of traffic jams and dirty air. I want the Government to back public transport for a greener, fairer transport future. Please send me campaign actions and updates by email.
