Question
Will the First Minister outline any steps the Welsh Government is taking to reduce car usage in Welsh cities?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
The Welsh Government is committed to reducing unnecessary car use in our cities by making public transport, walking, wheeling and cycling more practical, accessible, and affordable choices for everyday journeys. This includes investing in safer active travel routes and improving integration between different modes of transport to help create cleaner, less congested urban centres while maintaining access for those who need to travel by car.
The Welsh Government is also working with regional partners and local authorities to support delivery of these ambitions through Regional Transport Plans, helping to ensure that local investment and planning decisions reflect the need for more sustainable, integrated transport networks across Wales.
