The aim to reduce transport emissions and encourage sustainable transport has become an important part of Scotland’s policy plans. Today, Scotland wants to reach a 70% cut in CO2 emissions by 2030.

More than 100 new policies and proposals to support Scotland’s green recovery and help deliver a just transition to net-zero emissions have been launched. On the transport front, this includes:

• Additional funding of £120 million for zero-emission buses to accelerate the decarbonisation of Scotland’s bus fleet 
• £50 million to support the creation of  ‘Active Freeways’ to provide sustainable transport links between Scotland’s towns and cities
• Reducing the number of kilometers traveled by car by 20% by 2030 in line with the vision and priorities of Scotland’s new National Transport Strategy
• Phasing out new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, in line with the advice of the UK Committee on Climate Change

Like the other frontrunners of the TDA, Scotland today is leading the way!
