The Government takes the impact of road noise on health, wellbeing and the natural environment seriously and recognises that proportionate and dissuasive penalties are an effective way to minimise it. The Department is continuing to research into whether noise enforcement can be automated using an acoustic camera system.<\/p>

<\/p>

A review of the current penalties for all vehicles may need to be considered if acoustic camera systems prove to be a reliable and efficient way of enforcing noise limits.<\/p>

Government advice is for the public to continue to work from home if they can. If they do need to travel for any reason, they should consider all other modes, including walking and cycling, before using public transport.

On 23 May, the Transport Secretary announced a further £283 million to help increase bus and light rail services across England as quickly as possible as we begin to re-open our economy. This is in addition to the £397 million the Government announced on 3 April 2020 to keep England\u2019s buses running to serve those who need to rely on them.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has agreed a £1.6 billion funding and financing support package for Transport for London to enable them to continue operating essential services, transporting passengers safely and protecting staff during the pandemic and supporting the capital\u2019s gradual recovery from COVID-19.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department will continue to work with transport authorities to understand how public transport services can adapt to any \u2018new normal\u2019 that emerges from the Covid-19 outbreak so that a sustainable long-term recovery can be made.<\/p>

As the transport sector is restarted, DfT continues to work closely with Cabinet Office, BEIS, DHSC and others to develop contingency plans and to identify areas where there is increased risk of congestion or crowding.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department continues to recommend that the public avoids using public transport if possible and encouraging those travelling by public transport or in cars to avoid travelling in the peak to maximise capacity for key workers and the supply of goods.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is also encouraging employers to continue home working and staggering start times so that demand can be reduced.<\/p>

<\/p>

Departmental analysis to date shows that demand in the interpeak is currently higher than the traditional morning (and afternoon) peak.<\/p>

The Department has regular discussions with local authorities at both Ministerial and official level on a range of transport related matters including cycling and walking. These discussions have informed the development of the Emergency Active Travel Fund, through which the Department is supporting local authorities with the introduction of measures of this sort, and the new network management duty guidance that the Department published on 9 May.<\/p>
