   1. Avoid unnecessary travel in the first instance

   2. Shift towards towards cleaner, more efficient modes of transporting people and goods – that are also affordable and accessible to people experiencing a disadvantage. Enabling mode shift to greater use of public, shared and active transport 

3. The government engages with the coalition groups.
