A package of travel options comprising or equivalent to:
- Zero car ownership
- Up to 5,000 km long-distance train travel
- Up to 5,000 km bus and short-distance train travel
- Up to 1,000 km car travel (e.g. taxi, car club, lift-share), on average shared with one other person
- Walking & cycling for most short journeys
- Minimal ferry travel
- Zero cruise ship travel
- Minimal travel on speed boats, steam trains, helicopters or other very high emissions vehicles/ vessels
You can tailor these distances to create a travel package with equivalent emissions that suits your personal circumstances more closely.
Meeting this target would, on average in the UK, emit 0.7 tCO2e per capita per year.
Suggested monitoring:
Note distances of longer/ irregular journeys and their transport mode;
Estimate distances for daily commute and repeated leisure trips (if not walking or cycling).
