The Transport Innovation
Fund Strategy Why does
congestion matter?
Congestion costs Br itish
business 10 billion each year.
We risk 30,000 potential new jobs
if we fail to tackle congestion.
The number of employees within an hour
of the regional centre wil l halve.
Road transport contr ibutes a third of
our greenhouse gas emissions.

Six out of ten cars on the road in the
morning peak have only one occupant.
Car use is set to r ise by 25 per
cent in the next ten years.
Doing nothing is
not an option
If we dont act ...
We will lose the opportunity to shape our owntransport future.
We have identified a 3 billion transport package thatwould be the biggest and most far-reaching investment
programmeoutside of London.
It will transform the scale, quality and efficiency of ourtransport system.
This is a once-only opportunity to make it
happen.

a new and high quality public
transport service.
