Last mile delivery services, rolling out 250 electric buses, and installing 1,000 cycle hangars will all be explored in Bristol’s plan to decarbonise transport.
Bristol City Council is aiming to get the city to net zero carbon emissions by 2030 to tackle climate change, and a big part of that push will be changing how people move around the city. Council chiefs are now about to receive a huge boost from the Department for Transport.
According to the latest government data, a third of Bristol’s carbon emissions come from driving. Transport emissions in Bristol have reduced by less than 10% over the past decade, much slower than other sectors like industry, commercial and domestic energy use. In 2019, 494,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide were emitted from Bristol’s transport network.
