Air Quality Action Plan 2027 - 2032
Topic 4. Cleaner transport
Road transport is the main source of air pollution in Kingston. Cleaner transportation methods need to be a viable option for travel in and around The Royal Borough of Kingston. Public transport, walking, cycling, and the usage of low emission vehicles (such as electric) will help to reduce the burdens of air pollution in the borough. The council will facilitate, promote, and/or incentivise these options where possible and as far as possible.
The Air Quality Action Plan 2027-2032 proposes the following actions within this topic:
| Integrate transport and air quality work |
| Discourage engine idling |
| Temporary car-free days |
| Use parking rules to reduce car use |
| Install electric vehicle charging points |
| Build better walking & cycling paths |
| Lobbying transport partners |
| Reallocating road space for safer walking and cycling |
| Maintain and expand Kingston’s public e-bike hire scheme (Forest) |
Find more detail on these actions on pages 38 - 42 of the consultation document.
