• Outline of the broad scope and scale of the NHS’s net Zero Travel and Transport Programme
• World-leading travel and transport innovation across the NHS
• Key challenges and plans for action
• Forthcoming outputs from the Net Zero Travel & Transport team

• Taking a collaborative approach to transport with a Joint Local Transport Plan
• Launching Bristol’s Clean Air Zone to promote health and wellbeing, generate revenue for public transport improvements, and reduce emissions
• Offering Free EV trials for local organisations to support the transition to zero-emission transport

• Overview of UK transport emissions and CCC pathways
• Cost-benefit case for EV adoption
• Demand side measures
• Policy implications

• Long distance travel are responsible for small number of trips, but substantially larger share of emissions
• Mitigating local emissions alone will still leave a large share of emissions unaddressed in national carbon accounting targets

• Achieving Net Zero Transport is essential, and requires action at a national and local level
• Local Authorities are ideally placed to take and lead local action to deliver it
• Officers are busy, managing multiple demands on their time and they often lack the resources or knowledge on how to take action
• What support is available for local authorities, and how can it help them deliver Net Zero?

• Transport policy has focused on urban transport, but there is need to look at areas outside cities
• There is a perception that car travel is inevitable for all journeys outside cities, but there are options; the University of Hertfordshire has run roundtables looking at these
• Better public transport, demand responsive transport, car sharing, mobility hubs, e-bikes, cargo bikes and car clubs were all found to be good options as alternatives to conventional car use
• There is a need to link transport policy to spatial planning and to social  policy to reduce car dependence and social exclusion

• Vision for a modern 21^st century railway
• Opportunities of digitisation of infrastructure for net zero
• Developing strategic approaches for industry

• The environmental impact of aviation
• UK “Jet Zero” aviation decarbonisation strategy
• The issues with relying on technology: aircraft efficiency improvements, electric/hydrogen aircraft or “Sustainable Aviation Fuel”.
• Other problematic solutions such as carbon offsets and ‘influencing consumers’
• Policies required (but not considered) such as jet fuel tax, emissions pricing, frequent flyer levies, and limiting airport expansion and air traffic growth.
• The aviation worker angle: why short-term growth is likely to be dangerous for long-term job security
