The Sixth Carbon Budget published by the Committee on Climate Change envisages that a reduction in traffic will be needed. This plan fails to put any suggestions forward to reduce traffic. https://www.theccc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/The-Sixth-Carbon-Budget-The-UKs-path-to-Net-Zero.pdf
We need to reduce total car miles by 2050 by 17% and I do not believe this plan has the detail and methods to effectively decarbonise surface transport enough. Due to lack of Compulsory purchase orders, lack of funds, landownership issues some of the vital routes needed for residents to travel sustainably won't be delivered in the plan period.
The plan needs to set out ways and means to reduce motorised traffic that are achievable and realistic. The walking and cycling projects need to be properly funded and achievable.
