question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by the RAC Foundation Is it necessary to reduce car mileage to meet our carbon emission goals?, published in February; in particular, the finding that at least 37 per cent of all miles driven by cars, taxis and vans will need to be zero emission by 2030.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2023 answer text <p>The UK is on track to meet its carbon budgets. The Government already has robust plans in place to decarbonise transport in line with the UK’s legally binding targets. These plans do not include any measures to reduce car mileage. The package of proposals and policies will continue to evolve to changing circumstances in order to utilise technological developments and address emerging challenges.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 02/10/2023 11:29:10 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an assessment of the effects of (1) vehicle speeds, and (2) journey times, on emissions in urban areas; and if so, whether higher (a) vehicle speeds, or (b) journey times, have a greater effect on emissions levels.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government has commissioned studies to assess the impact of vehicle speed on emissions, for example undertaking a high-resolution emission modelling approach to understand changes in vehicle speeds and how it relates to emissions. The Department uses the best available evidence to model emissions in urban areas, including evidence linking vehicle speeds with emissions based on international guidelines. The evidence is that the factors influencing emissions are complex and the relative impact of vehicle speed, acceleration/deceleration and distance travelled (which are all related to journey times), will vary depending on the local situation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government’s Joint Air Quality Unit helps local authorities to calculate NOx emissions in their local areas using outputs from traffic models, which use a range of parameters including speed and distance travelled (which influence journey time) and the number of vehicles. The results of these parameters are contained in their Full Business Cases which are all published documents.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 03/02/2023 15:03:29 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the effects of low emission zones in urban areas on (1) vehicle usage, (2) average vehicle speeds, (3) average vehicle journey times, (4) emissions levels, and (5) overall air quality.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government has commissioned a robust evaluation programme for the collection and analysis of air quality, traffic, and behavioural insights data from Local Authority areas implementing measures for the reduction of nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>). Case studies give further understanding of how local plans are affecting local groups and businesses.</p><p>The Government has published a series of annual reports which set out and discuss the analysis of these evaluation findings. Headline findings from these reports and other analyses give an insight into the effects of Clean Air Zones and other measures on air quality and vehicle fleets in Local Authorities. The 2021 annual report is available to view on the Defra Science Search - AQ0851.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 03/02/2023 15:02:36 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
