Low Emission Strategies

The Low Emission Partnership is about local authorities working together to reduce transport emissions. Different areas have approached the problem in a variety of ways. The Partnership allows for the sharing of ideas and development of best practice.

The Low Emission Hub

We have developed an online case studies database for local policies, plans and measures that reduce transport emissions. Use the Hub to view, search and browse different policies and measures.
