Did you know? Personal vehicles contribute the most to London’s greenhouse gas emissions. London’s Climate Emergency Action Plan aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, in part by reducing reliance on personal vehicles (especially single occupant vehicle travel) and expanding support for sustainable choices (modes) of transportation. London is currently developing its new Mobility Master Plan, including new transportation mode shift targets to increase trips made by walking, cycling, transit and other sustainable options.
