Weakening the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate would be a major setback for cutting transport emissions. Transport is still the UK's biggest source of greenhouse gases. We should be accelerating the shift to cleaner transport, not slowing it down.

Without good, affordable public transport, too many young people struggle to access work and training.

The Budget moved us closer to international trains stopping at Stratford. Now it's time to reopen Ashford & Ebbsfleet to international rail services. The stations are ready, demand is there & restoring these links would help more people travel sustainably & boost local economies.

It was great to be invited onto @BBCRadio4's 'In Touch' programme to talk about our report on accessible bus stops.
Only 15% of people with visual impairments find it easy to use bus stops - change is needed.

It was great to see support in the Budget for bringing international rail to Stratford International Station at last.
If we are serious about meeting our climate commitments, we need to make it easy to choose #TrainNotPlane.

The event was a chance to highlight the importance of transport. As Our Chair, Shamit Gaiger OBE, said: "We now see transport at the heart of every debate. It is... fundamental for our society, for our economy, and for the complex challenges that we are facing."

Great that today’s #Budget included a step towards bringing international rail services to Stratford.
With less than half the Channel Tunnel’s passenger capacity now being used, there is huge potential to make international rail travel available to more people.

How accessible are the bus stops where you live? Our latest report highlights problems like:
• Not enough space to manoeuvre a wheelchair
• No dropped kerb
• No seating
• No timetables - or timetables that are too small or high up for people to read.

We welcome the Government’s commitment to giving local leaders greater powers and funding flexibility, alongside support to build local expertise and capacity.
Done well, devolution can drive better transport, stronger local economies and greater opportunity across the country.

We're calling on the Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP to prioritise public transport ahead of roads and airports in Wednesday's #Budget2026.
We also want to see a fairer tax regime for more carbon-intensive transport modes to help raise much-needed additional revenue.

Trains, buses and trams connect us to work, college, days out... and each other.
They mean less traffic on our roads, less air pollution and a more stable climate.
The Government should use next week's Budget to support and improve public transport.

We talked to @thetimes about Delay Repay.
It can be complicated to claim when your train is delayed, so it's good that the process is being simplified.
But most importantly, we want to see fewer trains being delayed in the first place.
