由“改善交通运动”（Campaign for Better Transport）牵头的54个民间社会组织联合签署声明，呼吁英国政府加大力度推广骑行、步行和公共交通 1。这些团体强调，今夏的热浪和野火凸显了气候紧急状况，要求政府制定“模式转变”目标，以提高公共交通、共享出行和主动出行在总出行中的比例，并增加铁路货运比重，从而推动交通部门脱碳 1。去年，英国国内交通占净温室气体排放的近三分之一，且该部门排放量较前一年增加了2% 1。
对此，英国交通部发言人回应称，政府正推动清洁交通转型 1。具体举措包括将公交票价上限降至2英镑、冻结铁路票价，以及投资45亿英镑用于骑行和步行 1。此外，政府还将投入75亿英镑支持零排放车辆授权 1。
A coalition of 54 civil society organizations, spearheaded by the Campaign for Better Transport, has issued a statement urging the UK government to significantly expand its promotion of cycling, walking, and public transit 1. The campaigners argue that recent heatwaves and wildfires have underscored the climate emergency, necessitating urgent decarbonization of the transport sector 1. This push for action follows data revealing that domestic transport was responsible for nearly a third of the UK's net greenhouse gas emissions last year, representing a 2% increase from the previous year 1.
To address these environmental concerns, the coalition is calling on the government to establish "mode shift" targets that would raise the proportion of public transport, shared mobility, and active travel in overall journeys, alongside increasing the share of rail freight 1. In response to these demands, a spokesperson for the UK Department for Transport outlined several ongoing initiatives designed to drive the clean transport transition 1. These measures include capping bus fares at £2, freezing rail ticket prices, investing £4.5 billion in cycling and walking infrastructure, and allocating £7.5 billion to support the zero-emission vehicle mandate 1.
