Thank you to @AfzalKhanMCR for sponsoring this event and your support of a methane action plan👇

We are currently working on a report with Trainline to look into opportunities to grow rail use to reduce emissions. Look out for our upcoming report in the new year!

🤓 you can see me busily writing down this star quote from Louise Haigh this morning at the transport select committee

[Adam Tranter @adamtranter]

Very important line here from @LouHaigh on road safety:

"We treat road safety in a way as if it is somehow a natural accident. If the number of people being killed or seriously injured on our roads, were being killed in any other way, we'd be treating it as a pandemic."

"Soon the District line won’t be the only green route on the tube".

@_Rosie_Allen_, policy adviser, quoted in the @Independent last week on plans to power the tube network with dedicated solar farms:

Govt decision to keep regressive Tory fuel duty freeze & to choose to penalise bus users is utterly nonsensical. What happened to promoting public transport? And all the Green rhetoric? Cost of capping bus fares at £2 tiny compared with revenue lost through freeze #Budget2024

[David Milner @djjmilner]

The transport system we pick dictates the places that we live in

Metros and trams = more homes and parks on less land

[Possible @_wearepossible]

This is why it’s wrong to freeze fuel duty while hiking bus fares by 50%.

🌿 this also comes at a time where we want to be encouraging more people to take the bus for more journeys and leave the car at home, to reduce emissions for the UK's most polluting sector: https://t.co/mTAP4k5Ks9

❗ The bus fare cap will be raised to £3 until the end of 2025, in Wednesday's budget announcements: https://t.co/ar2dVRjrn5 It's a relief that people won't be faced with cliff-edge bus fares, but 🧵

[Rosie @_Rosie_Allen_]

🚌raising the fare cap will impact those in transport poverty. The effects will be felt by jobseekers, who disproportionately use buses more, and low income groups, who are less likely to have access to a car.

London cabbies want to ditch diesel, but only 60% of the fleet is powered by electricity at the moment. If cabbies don’t get the support they need to switch, those drivers could be priced out of the industry.

New research 🏥🌍

Today, we're launching two reports funded by @wellcometrust on the often overlooked climate and health intersection🔀

To 'build an NHS fit for the future', the government must address the physical and mental health challenges posed by climate change.

"It is hard to see how the Lower Thames Crossing meets any of @UKLabour's five missions"

@ecochris_todd, director of @TransportActio2, outlines the issues on the eve of @transportgovuk's decision on the crossing's future:

A pretty monumental day for climate action.

Only 20 years ago was coal providing the majority of fuel used for electricity in the UK.

We were the first country in the world to start burning coal, and the first major economy to phase it out.

More evidence that secure bike parking is critical:

New study of Melbourne finds that apartment residents are more than 2x as likely to own a bike if they have access to off-street bike parking (i.e., inside their building).
