once again so much of the agita around congestion pricing hinges on the fact that many people seem to believe that "eliminating car trips" is an unfortunate side effect and not the actual point

Research shows pedestrianization schemes, once implemented, do wonders. "We can't find a single example of a traffic-reduction measure that's been in place for more than two years that's then gone on to be removed because of a lack of public support." #ShareGoodNewsToo www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Sorry John Prescott died. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
He *almost* got us real road traffic reduction! But the act got diluted. Time to give it some teeth and require #TrafficReduction from authorities continuing their destructive & unhealthy "predict & provide" policies? @rogergeffen.bsky.social

Well worth reading this very important thread. We're concerned how cheaper motoring will impact traffic, and how electrifying transport will work with National Transport Strategies.

Folks, we've still got to see more #TrafficReduction 📉

By 2050, if our pathway is delivered against, annual household energy bills are predicted to be ~£700 cheaper than today, and household driving bills are predicted to be ~£700 cheaper than today.

Thank you! That's exactly my point.

Anything that promotes a better lifestyle for more people creates a plus-sum-equation for the city.

Greater ridership on #transit is a big driver of fiscal sanity since anything promoting #economicMobility & #trafficReduction drives prosperous municipal health.

#PfG 25/26

Despite the above 🚶👩‍🦽🚲 cuts, and dropping the 20% #TrafficReduction target
.. there is continued #trunkroad expansion

.. though #Conservatives ask for more!

🙄 ironically cash genuinely needed to tackle #A83 #RestAndBeThankful landslides, due to #ClimateCrisis caused in part by🚘
Building on having met all milestones set out in the delivery plan to dual the A9 since it was published in December 2023, in the coming year we will: ● Publish draft Orders for the Pass of Birnam to Tay Crossing in Spring 2025. ● Award the fourth construction contract, for the Tay Crossing to Ballinluig, and commence procurement of the fifth construction contract, Pitlochry to Killiecrankie, both in summer 2025. Progressing work to determine the most suitable procurement option for delivering the A96 Dualling Inverness to Nairn (including Nairn Bypass). A83 road suffering from climate impacts, caused in part by transport emissions, needs considerable expenditure to protect from landslides... PfG says... Progressing delivery of the next phase of the medium-term improvements at the A83 Rest and Be Thankful and on the statutory authorisation process for the remaining elements of the medium-term improvements and the long-term solution.
