Good that there’s “unprecedented funding for #ActiveTravel” though?
If they’re serious about #DecarbonisingTransport and creating growth they should be putting money for EV subsidies towards a rolling rail electrification programme, instead of pausing this.

Something something “unprecedented funding for #ActiveTravel” something.
If they were serious about #DecarbonisingTransport and creating growth they’d not be pausing rail electrification again…
#CycleToWork has a number of problems, but this isn’t addressing the biggest one - that those on the lowest wages who would benefit the most can’t access the scheme. #DecarbonisingTransport @walkridegm.org.uk @heidialexander.bsky.social

🚗 Dr. Sarbast Moslem presented the latest on ROBUST: at #SEAI 's Decarbonising Transport Conference! Great to share our work on sustainable mobility hubs with policy makers and leaders.

Labour has been disappointing on #DecarbonisingTransport - this, but a focus on drivers, having neither reinstated the statutory council guidance on #ActiveTravel, nor delivered the ‘unprecedented funding’ initially promised.
#CarDependence is a public health issue as much as an environmental one.
If we have to have the lower Thames crossing, then it needs to include a rail line bypassing London. Otherwise it will do nothing to promote #DecarbonisingTransport
E-bikes have huge potential for #DecarbonisingTransport but only if the scare stories stop before they cause an evidence-free knee-jerk ban.
An e-cargo bike can move almost as much stuff just as fast as an EV in urban areas, on a fraction of the electricity
#ActiveTravel
Is it once again an article that fails to differentiate between legal e-assist and illegal and fire-prone e-mopeds, which is an enforcement issue?
Stuff like this carried a real risk of undermining the potential benefits of e-assist for #DecarbonisingTransport
And we know what we need to do. The problem is doing it & doing it fast enough - for example #DecarbonisingTransport (which is a major part of *our* CO2 footprint - but we do little to make the switch to active/public transport fast enough & we need fewer, cleaner, cars & vans @libdemcycling.org.uk
This is very disappointing, especially if it's accompanied by a further freeze in fuel duty. Neither intervention will do anything to encourage necessary #ModalShift, especially in a #ClimateEmergency where above all we need less private car use for short journeys #DecarbonisingTransport
I wonder why, if we’re serious about #DecarbonisingTransport, there isn’t a subsidy to ferry freight from e.g. Rosyth to Europe rather than trucking the length of the UK motorway network, and taking only marginally less time to do it?
