The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has criticised the government’s transport decarbonisation plans as ‘business as usual’.

But Becca Massey-Chase, co-deputy head of the IPPR environmental justice commission, said: “It does nothing to address some of the really endemic inequalities in our transport system.​ Action on the climate crisis needs to put fairness at the heart.
