Low Carbon Travel

Just when you thought you could take a break, the Local Transport Strategy for the Highlands is still out to consultation.

To provide a little background information why not have a look at the recently published Department of Transport booklet:

Delivering Sustainable Low Carbon Travel: An Essential Guide for Local Authorities.

Extract:

"Sustainable travel is about understanding your local area and providing for its transport needs through a range of measures which promote attractive sustainable transport alternatives such as walking, cycling and public transport. And the key is in the range of measures – by introducing a carefully selected package of complementary measures in a specific targeted location, an authority can achieve a greater and longer-term impact than through individual initiatives alone. This package is then held together by a clear and strong brand with supportive marketing."

Interesting phraseology there?
