How will the proposed Sustainable Travel Zone in Cambridge affect you?
The Greater Cambridge Partnership (CPG) are currently consulting on plans that include:
- Expanding the existing bus network, with cheaper fares set at £1 / £2.
- Investing in better walking and cycling links.
- Creating a sustainable travel zone to include a road users' charge for driving within the Zone between 7am and 7pm on weekdays.
The travel zone includes Addenbrooke's, the Rosie and Royal Papworth Hospitals.
A range of discounts, exemptions and reimbursements are proposed, including for patients using Accident and Emergency services, and those who are assessed as "too ill, weak or disabled to travel to an appointment on public transport."
The CPG are running both online and face to face engagement events where you can find out more about the proposals and share your views.
Please do take the time to find out more and have your say:

If you have thoughts about how this will affect your ability to access health and care services in the city — good or bad — then please do get in touch and let us know.
We will be developing our own response to the consultation, so it is important that we know what you think.
