HARROGATE DISTRICT CLIMATE CHANGE COALITION
Transport
Supporting businesses with decarbonising transport to reach net zero
HDCCC will support the development of an integrated transport plan for the Harrogate District which will seek to reduce demand and minimise car miles per person whilst recognising the specific needs of rural, disabled and disadvantaged residents, and being mindful of the need to offer economic opportunities to local businesses.
We will actively:
-
encourage the use of shared transport such as trains, buses, and car clubs and recognise the importance of active travel during the ’last mile‘in successful local transport systems.
-
recognise and support the need for EV and innovative infrastructure for road and agricultural transport.
-
recognise that three quarters of flights are taken by fewer than 15% of people and encourage this group to seek alternative modes of travel and alternative ways of connecting with others.
tax incentives
