Transport, active travel and air quality
About 25% of Manchester's carbon emissions come from transport. To reduce that, we must change the way we travel. And we must prioritise active travel (walking, cycling or wheeling). These changes will also improve air quality across the city.
Transport for Greater Manchester are changing regional travel with the Bee Network. And we have an active travel strategy and an electric vehicle charging strategy for the city.
Action must also happen at a local level. That's the focus of the ward plans.
Our aims:
- To support projects that encourage active travel
- To promote the wider gains of sustainable travel such as better health and wellbeing
- To champion broader campaigns such as Clean Air Day and Cycle September
