Worcestershire's roads are becoming more congested with car traffic. As well as being frustrating, congestion is damaging to both our environment and our economy. Transport (personal and freight) accounts for 35% of total UK carbon emissions.
In Worcestershire there are almost 80,000 more cars & vans than there are households (2001 Census). Many short journey's could be made using other methods, reducing pollution aswell as congestion.
More sustainable transport methods include walking, cycling, taking the bus or train, or car sharing.
