'Decarbonising transport' consultation for Community Rail Network members

This workshop will be led by the Department for Transport and the Community Rail Network team.

The aim of this workshop is to introduce the DfT's ‘Transport Decarbonisation Plan’ announced in Decarbonising Transport: Setting the Challenge, published in March. The workshop will explore the role that localised community engagement can play in promoting more sustainable travel habits and consider the six strategic priorities the DfT are exploring as they develop the plan:

• accelerating modal shift to public and active transport

• decarbonisation of road vehicles

• decarbonising how we get our goods

• UK as a hub for green transport technology and innovation

• reducing carbon in a global economy

• place-based solutions for emissions reduction.

There will be virtual break-out rooms and Members will be invited to share their views on the plan.

This online consultation will take place using Zoom. Find out more and log in or create a Zoom account here. More details will be provided nearer the time to help you participate.
