The Scottish Government has published its route map outlining steps needed to reduce car kilometres travelled by 20% by 2030.
The target was set out in the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan Update (CCPu), published in December 2020.
The route map sets out a range of sustainable travel behaviours grouped into four categories:
- travel less: use online options where appropriate
- stay local: chose a more local destination to meet your needs
- switch mode: to walk, wheel, cycle, or use public transport where possible
- combine a journey: where the other options are not feasible
Additionally, research will be commissioned to explore equitable options for demand management to discourage car use, to enable the development of a new Framework for Car Demand Management by 2025.
