A just transition for transport for low-income households
Transport in Scotland needs to change, with new policies that will reduce emissions, restore nature, and deliver better access to the things people need and care about.
During the research that led to this report, we spoke directly to people living on low incomes in Glasgow and heard the daily challenges they face, the role that transport plays in shaping their experience of the city, and their views on what a fairer, greener transport system would look like. We found that there is support for urgently addressing the climate emergency, reducing car use, and bold action to reallocate space to walking, wheeling, cycling, and socialising in their city.
People must be provided with better transport alternatives, alongside implementing measures reducing demand for private car use.
