The Transport Theme Group:
Long-term outcomes
- The need for travel will have reduced as developments for learning and leisure, health services and shops and employment will have been positioned in convenient places
|
- The quality of Coventry's local public transport services will have further improved and people will be
more likely to travel in ways that are less damaging to the environment
|
Short-term priorities
- Plan to make services, including schools, employment, culture and leisure opportunities more locally
accessible and to reduce the need to travel (residents and commuters) |
- Reduce car use and encourage people to travel by public transport, on foot and by bicycle, particularly
during peak periods |
- Ensure that the transport infrastructure, and especially public transport, is able to cope with planned
growth in the city |
- Improve perceptions about safety of travelling by public transport, by bicycle or on foot and maintain the
city's low rates of road traffic accidents |
- Reduce CO2 emissions due to transport
