This report urges authorities in London to speed up the delivery of a high-quality cycling network in order to transform the Capital into a city where active and sustainable travel becomes the standard choice for everyday travel.The Climate Safe Streets report shows how to create a new, zero carbon, healthier and more efficient system for road travel that will render it unnecessary for most Londoners to own a car after 2030.Along with rapidly delivering a high-quality cycling network, the report calls on authorities to introduce further smart road user charging – to discourage the most damaging and polluting motor vehicle trips.
The report’s final recommendation is to support the growth of zero-carbon shared mobility options.
These include dockless e-scooters (if made legal), cycles, e-bikes and electric car clubs – so that all Londoners have suitable, sustainable transport choices on their doorstep.
The report says taken together, these measures will drastically reduce carbon emissions, transforming the city into one where walking and cycling become the standard choice for everyday travel.
