TTW Community Event Exploring Air Pollution
This event will be held at CREW 8/9 South St Worthing BN11 3AL
Tues 9th May at 2pm Admission free
Air pollution is damaging our environment and our health. Between 28,000 and 36,000 early deaths are attributable to air pollution each year in the UK. Road transport is responsible for 80% of roadside NO2 pollution where legal limits are being broken. Urgent and increased action by governments is necessary to reduce air pollution to safer levels. In the transport sector, governments must be set ambitious modal shift targets underpinned by significant leadership and investment. Governments must do more to help people leave their cars at home for everyday journeys and make more sustainable trips (by foot, cycle or on public transport).

Register for Transport Transition Summit
Register for your place at the Transport Transition Summit, taking place on 11 & 12 May, to connect with a growing network of over 1,500 transport, energy and policy professionals mapping the next phase of the transport transition.
About the Summit
Transportation underpins our society, connecting people, cities, economies and fostering growth and employment. With global trade and travel swelling to meet the demands of a growing consumer population, a business-as-usual trajectory in the transport sector would see emissions rocket further.
Decarbonisation action is needed now across all asset classes, full value chains and product life cycles. Electric vehicles may be at tipping point, but heavy lifting is now required to decarbonise the giants of aviation and shipping as well as to commercialise zero-emission freight.
How can we use lessons from the pandemic to support future sustainable mobility and transport? And how can policy, investment and innovation be combined to build and deploy the necessary infrastructure required to support the mass adoption of clean transport?
