Sustainable transport has huge potential to make a positive contribution to a broad range of policy aims. In the traditional transport arena alone, it can -
- Help cut congestion
- Help reduce casualty levels
It also has an important role in tackling problems in the fields of health, the environment and education.
In recognition of sustainable transport's importance, it will be fully embedded within the new National Transport Strategy, due to be published in 2006.
