question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Government is taking to encourage people to use public transport in order to reduce congestion and its associated effect on air quality.
tabling member constituency	Eastleigh
tabling member printed	Mims Davies
uin	7418
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling congestion and improving air quality across the UK. High quality and accessible public transport will play a key role in this, alongside other forms of sustainable transport such as cycling and walking. Our rail plans are seeing the largest investment in the railway since Victorian times, which will help make rail travel more attractive through state-of-the-art new trains and stations, together with more and faster services. The Bus Services Act, which received Royal Assent in April 2017, gives local authorities a further range of tools, such as partnership working and franchising, to deliver service improvements for bus passengers, aiming to drive up bus use and help cut congestion. Our Cycling and Walking Strategy, published in April 2017 identified £1.2bn of investment in cycling and walking from 2016-21.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/09/2017 07:42:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
