Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to decarbonise transport.

We are developing a bold and ambitious Transport Decarbonisation Plan to achieve net zero emissions across all modes of transport, which we are working to publish as soon as possible. It will set out a credible and ambitious pathway to delivering transport’s contribution to carbon budgets and meeting net zero by 2050.

We have already taken significant steps towards this goal. This includes, but is not limited to, announcing the phase out of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, committing to support the introduction of 4,000 green buses through our recently published National Bus Strategy, investment and support for green fuels and new green transport technologies, and continued support for increasing cycling and walking through our Active Travel Fund.
