It's time for a Low Traffic Vision

The Government has invited the public to suggest ideas for a ‘vision-led’ Integrated National Transport Strategy for England, to be published later this year.

Although the Scottish and Welsh Governments have both set targets to reduce car traffic, this will be England’s first attempt at an integrated transport strategy for 27 years!

They want ideas by the end of January. So now is the time to raise our voices, not just to influence the Strategy itself but also to make MPs aware of the huge public support for a less car-dependent future.

Please email your MP, urging them to press Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander to give us real choices in how we make our day-to-day journeys, without always depending on private cars.

Our template email makes it easy to do this. We’d encourage you to edit or expand on it though, if you want to say something about your own situation or your local area.
