Public Transport Decarbonising Inquiry Jul 2023CPG convenor Graham Simpson MSP said: “In recent years, the Scottish Government has made some ambitious commitments to bus, rail and ferry decarbonisation, as part of its plans to cut climate emissions. The Parliament has a key role in ensuring that these targets are met. The Cross Party Group will take stock of progress and review the next actions required to ensure that emissions are cut in an efficient and timely manner. “This work follows on from the Cross Party Group’s successful inquiry into traffic reduction last year which used expert evidence to set out a set of recommendations the Government should consider when progressing policies to reduce car kilometres by 20% by 2030.” Trams were omitted from this call but we have lobbied successfully for their inclusion and our response is posted here and has been accepted as evidence from Light Rail UK Group and LRTA members Cppg Sustainable Transport
