Bedford Council launches travel plan to improve air quality
Mar 16 2011
Yesterday (March 15th 2011), Bedford Council introduced the Stations Travel Plan at Bedford Midland Station.
The programme will see changes being made to local stations in order to boost the number of people who use public transport between the facilities.
By making bus services and cycling more appealing options to locals, the council hopes fewer people will use their cars to get to the stations, thereby improving air quality.
Mayor of Bedford Borough Dave Hogson said: "We have worked with station users to take measures which support them to use sustainable methods of transport, easing congestion in and around the town and helping to protect the local environment."
Commuters who want to have a say in how the stations are improved can fill out the Passenger Survey, available on the local authority's website, which is aimed at assessing how people use the facilities.
