Private car use places unsustainable pressure on the public highway network. The best way to relieve this pressure is to make sustainable and healthy transport options such as walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport the first choice for people's short everyday journeys. This will help address issues of climate change, air quality, public health and road danger.

Infrastructure needs to include safe separated spaces for people to walk and cycle, safe routes to access existing public transport services and new mobility hubs, bus priority schemes and 20mph limits where vulnerable road users are required to mix with motor traffic.
