We want to Connect Leeds, Connect Communities, and Connect Businesses together in the most sustainable ways and for everyone to have an affordable zero carbon choice in how they travel.
We want to ensure economic opportunities are available to everyone, create a healthy and caring city for all and through a range of travel choices address the climate emergency, by moving away from personal car ownership, towards a shared, go anywhere low carbon transport network.
The objectives
To support our vision for Leeds we have three over-arching objectives:
Tackling climate change
We declared a Climate Emergency in 2019 and pledged to make Leeds carbon neutral by 2030. In order to meet our 2030 target we must persuade people to adopt more sustainable travel choices by:
- Reducing the need for travel and the number of car journeys, especially at peak times
- Encouraging people to choose active travel and public transport
- Improving the efficiency of the transport network and making better use of our road space
- Encouraging and leading the uptake of zero emission vehicles in freight, public and private transport
Delivering inclusive growth
The Leeds Inclusive Growth strategy sets outs 12 big ideas to encourage inclusive growth. In order to support the delivery of inclusive growth and make Leeds an attractive city for business to grow and invest in, we are going to:
- Support individuals to access more employment opportunities through a comprehensive transport network
- Develop and regenerate places through continued investment in transport infrastructure
- Improve productivity by investing in a more time and cost-efficient transport system
- Lower the cost of mobility, ensuring transport is affordable and accessible for everyone
Improve health & wellbeing
We want Leeds to be the most active city in England and our priority is to get more people active more often. To improve health and wellbeing we are going to:
- Ensure walking and cycling are the first choice for the shortest journeys improving physical and mental health
- Reduce the negative effects of transport on our local communities, improving air quality and reducing CO2 emissions
- Help make Leeds the best city to grow old in and a child friendly city through making streets accessible to all
- Eliminate road danger by adopting a Vision Zero approach to road accidents
