Neil Coyle
Labour, Bermondsey and Old Southwark
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to support World Car Free Day 2018.
Jesse Norman
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department supports the principles behind World Car Free Day, of encouraging an increase in cycling and walking for short journeys to reduce traffic congestion and emissions from road transport, as well as increasing health benefits from more active lifestyles. It is for cities and local authorities to determine if, and how, they choose to participate as part of World Car Free Day. The Government’s statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in April 2017, outlines £1.2 billion of funding that may be invested in cycling and walking in England over the period to 2021.
