Transform Scotland has responsed to the Scottish Government’s recent decision to drop it’s commitment to reducing car traffic by 20% by 2030.

Transform Scotland’s Public affairs manager Laura Hyde-White said

“It is deeply disappointing to see the Government abandon its target to cut car traffic by 20% by 2030. This was a very ambitious goal which demanded transformational change.”

“Yet since its announcement progress has been piecemeal at best, with the Government spending the past four years tinkering with public transport fares and delivery plans stuck in limbo as responsibility bounced between national and local government.”

“But we need traffic reduction more than ever — not only for climate, but for cleaner air and safer streets, a healthier and fairer society, and a stronger economy.”
