Public transport is vital but in many areas will only be able to operate at 10-20% capacity whilst maintaining #SocialDistanacing. That is why #cycling and #walking must be prioritised! @ReWhite14 explains why in her recent @sustrans article for GB - bit.ly/2Tt5hCX

London’s ULEZ cuts NO2 emissions by a third - new data proves we don’t have to accept dirty air just because we live in towns and cities. #CleanAir Zones can help to quickly get the most polluting vehicles out of the most polluted parts of our cities. #AirPollution
