Appendix 1 – TfSE SIP Investment Packages

Global Policy Interventions

The following global policy interventions are designed to address the challenges and opportunities that affect the whole of the south east and the wider UK. These include existential challenges such as global warming and opportunities such as new mobility technologies.

The key global policy interventions that would help deliver the investment priorities in the south east are:

Intervention	Measures
Decarbonisation	Involving rapid adoption of zero emission technologies to decarbonise transport
Public Transport Fares	Making the cost of public transport attractive compared to motoring
New Mobility	The use and promotion of technologies such as electric bikes and scooters to boost active travel
Road User Charging	Encourage the UK government to develop a national road user charging system. To provide an alternative source of funding to fuel duty.
Virtual Access	Provision for virtual working to reduce travel demand
Integration	Across and between all modes of transport - infrastructure, services, ticketing and accessibility.
