Urban Transport Group's report: Delivering a greener future

This report by Urban Transport Group highlights how freight is vital to the effective functioning of the UK economy, but notes that road freight also brings negative impacts for cities, such as carbon emissions, air pollution and congestion.

It calls for sustained support for urban freight at a local and national level to encourage modal shift to rail and water, decarbonise road freight and improve road safety.
