The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help reduce emissions by increasing the use of public transport.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

This Government is committed to delivering greener transport and supporting the missions to kickstart economic growth and to make Britain a clean energy superpower. The Department is working across government and the transport sector to turn this vision to reality.

This includes beginning the overhaul of public transport services and accelerating active travel infrastructure deployment. Changes that will make lower-carbon options an attractive choice for most people.
