Air pollution is responsible for more than 400,000 premature deaths in Europe each year
(European Environment Agency)
The transport sector makes up 5% of the EU economy and employs 11 million people
(European Commission)
In 2017, 37 of the UK’s 43 air quality zones were not in compliance with legal requirements for air quality
(UK Government)
In Europe, transport is the largest source of NOx emissions - one of the main sources of urban air quality problems
(European Environment Agency)
Transport is the source of 24% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, the majority of which comes from cars
(Committee on Climate Change)
In order to deliver the UK’s climate change commitments, transport’s CO2 emissions must decline by 43% by 2030
(Committee on Climate Change)
By 2050, land transport CO2 emissions need to be close to zero – to achieve this 60% of new cars must be electric by 2030
(Committee on Climate Change)
One in four Europeans are exposed to road traffic noise above safe levels, indirectly leading to at least 10,000 premature deaths each year
(European Environment Agency)
Nearly 26,000 people were killed on the EU’s roads in 2014, of which around 1,800 were in the UK
(European Commission)
In England, 1 in 4 car trips is under 2 miles – a distance that could easily be undertaken by foot or by bicycle
(National Travel Survey)
The cost of short car journeys to society in terms of congestion, accidents and air pollution is £23 billion
(Sustrans)
Doubling the number of short trips by foot, bicycle or public transport would save the UK £8.5 billion p.a. and save 15,000 lives due to increased physical activity
(Sustrans)
If the major city in each European country increased its cycling modal share to that of Copenhagen, it could create 435,000 more cycling jobs
(UN Environment)
Globally, studies suggest that a green economy would lead to net gains of around 60 million jobs
(International Labour Organisation)
The average car spends 80% of its time parked at home – and is parked elsewhere for a further 16%. It spends only 4% of its time being driven.
(RAC Foundation)
It is estimated that in London each car club car replaces 10.5 private cars, as car club members reduce the number of cars they own
(CarPlus)
Smartphones can unlock the door to shared mobility, which could significantly reduce car use and eliminate congestion in urban areas
(International Transport Forum)
