CPT recently responded to the consultation on draft revised Air Quality Strategy.
Our four main calls on Government include:
- Create a new class of clean air zones to enable local authorities to charge cars without charging coaches and buses.
- Create a national clean air fund to support coach operators to invest in new vehicles or to retrofit existing vehicles to meet Clean Air Zone requirements.
- Fund more BSIPs to enable local authorities and bus operators to fully implement their jointly, locally developed bus service improvement plans.
- Ensuring that coach facilities and access form an integral part of the planning process for locations likely to receive large numbers of visitors.
