Local transport
We want everyone to have genuine, sustainable travel choices, keeping cars of the road and pollution out of the atmosphere.
We know that sustainable public transport options can be really lacking in rural areas, and the transport sector currently accounts for the largest share of UK greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why we’re working hard to advocate for local transport improvements, reducing loneliness and isolation by improving connectivity and access for everyone.

We all deserve to be able to get to work and to places to socialise and reach local services like our GP easily. Making sure that we can all reliably and affordably reach the facilities that we need is a basic part of living in a fair society.
