Transforming the way Britain travels
The Government’s ambitious targets to reduce the impact of travel on the environment mean that today’s transport providers have an important role to play.
From the national pledge to create a net zero rail network by 2050, to the Government’s investment of £2bn to enable half of town and city journeys to be cycled or walked by 2030, finding sustainable, efficient solutions is now front of mind.
We understand the balancing act of achieving those ambitions whilst keeping costs down for everyone - we’re already working closely with the country’s largest transport providers, applying our transformational and technology expertise to help tackle these challenges.
Take a look below at our insights, videos and other useful resources designed to help you with shifting citizens’ attitudes to travel.

Encouraging people to make greener choices about the way they travel is key to achieving net zero. To be successful, transport providers need to combine greener options with genuine community engagement. At Capita, we blend our industry, transformational and technology expertise to help transport providers to encourage citizens to think differently about how they get around.
From our own research, it’s clear that transport providers need to raise their profiles and play a greater role in informing, inspiring and enabling this change. Read our exclusive research report to learn more about the public’s perception of net zero and how you can inspire sustainable behaviours from your passengers.

The central ULEZ that launched in April 2019 was a world first and has already seen harmful nitrogen dioxide slashed by 44 per cent. The expansion of the zone will see the whole city breathing cleaner air.”
