A leading charity has outlined a series of policies which could cut the carbon emissions of UK transport by a quarter by 2020. 
The Campaign for Better Transport has highlighted a number of ways in which the government could act to lessen the environmental impact of this aspect of British life.
A document detailing the exact policies will be released on December 1st, but the organisation has indicated the goals to which its proposals are aimed.
They include lowering car traffic by 15 per cent and the reduction of passenger travel emissions by 32 per cent over the next 12 years, from 2006 levels.
When travelling in a group to an event or special occasion a great way to cut down the number of vehicles needed is by booking corporate travel, which allows many more people to use a single means of transport.
Not only might this lower the overall carbon footprint of the journey but it could also work out as a good way to save money too.
The Campaign for Better Transport was founded in 1973 and is dedicated to lobbying the government on transport policies and issues on behalf of the UK public.
