Fed up of sitting in traffic? Late for work
again?
Wolverhampton Travelwise can assist you in considering alternatives to car use by encouraging sustainable transport and reducing the need for single occupancy car use. Congestion levels will be lowered and the resulting benefits to economy, health, environment and local communities will be realised.
There’s little doubt that traffic congestion is a growing
problem in Britain. More people own cars than ever before, and
8 out of 10 cars carry only their driver. In addition to delays,
there are other problems too. These include:
- Noise and air pollution
-
Road traffic accidents
- Health problems
-
Cost to industry (currently £2.3 billion alone
in the West Midlands)
Motor traffic is also one of the biggest producers of greenhouse
gases and contributes to climate change which has far
reaching consequences, such as changing weather patterns, rising
sea levels and flooding.
