Together, we can make change happen
Hello
I've emailed you a couple of times about the Government's consultation on its Transport Decarbonisation Plan. I can tell you now, the response to those emails has been fantastic.
When the Government launched its consultation on how carbon emissions from transport can be reduced, we knew it was a really important opportunity for people to call for action on one of the most pressing environmental challenges we face. But we also knew that the consultation risked being crowded out by other concerns, so we alerted all of the people we could, and wrote a guide to help people respond.
I'm pleased to tell you that thousands of people have now followed our links to respond to the consultation, and almost 400 have taken the time to tell us what they said in their responses. People like Dez from Kettering, who wants "to be able to rely on trains and to be able to afford trains," Fran from Taunton, who said, "I would like to see bike parking at out-of-town bus stops and in the countryside," and Simeon from Norwich, who called for "towns and cities to be built in such a way that all day-to-day travel requirements can be achieved with walking and cycling". If you haven't responded yet, you have until Monday.
Transport emissions affect everyone, so we were really glad to have made many people aware of the consultation who wouldn't otherwise have known about it. Jonathan from Wembley was one person who commented, "I would have been unlikely to have responded to the consultation were it not for Campaign for Better Transport."
As the Government's Transport Decarbonisation Plan progresses, we'll continue to call together with as many voices as possible for it to be ambitious and effective. Could you make a one-off or regular donation so that we can do even more to make transport better, greener and fairer?
