Our 2050 Vision

Our vision for a future national transport network.

At Enroute, we strive to create a greener, economically-friendly, and community-influenced public and active transport network, encouraging modal shift from road and private car to sustainable modes of transport. We elaborate on our aims with our comprehensive vision for the transport network in 2050.

Our 2050 Vision draws on our work and the published work of other organisations. Whilst we highlight where our vision aligns with the views of other organisations, the 2050 Vision represents Enroute's views and should not be taken to represent those of other organisations.

Our 2050 Vision is more than a roadmap for sustainable transport - it's a blueprint for a greener Britain. We're advocating for a holistic transformation that combines cutting-edge infrastructure with progressive policies, recognising that true sustainability is as much about social equity as it is about reducing carbon emissions. We call for unprecedented collaboration across all sectors of society, from government to grassroots, to create a sustainable transport network that's not only efficient and environmentally sound but also accessible to all. It's an adaptive strategy, designed to evolve as we progress, ensuring that every step we take today lays the foundation for a more mobile, connected, and sustainable future for generations to come.

Our 2050 Vision is Enroute’s manifesto-of-sorts. It sets out key steps we all need to take, from central Government to local authorities to individuals, to create the sustainable transport network we need in the (not so distant) future. For transport to be sustainable, it must be efficient and low-carbon, and it must also be socially just and accessible. Our Vision is a collation of policies that come out of our own work, as well as the work of fellow advocates and organisations, consisting of a mix of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ interventions, from fairer and more secure funding to new active travel and high-speed rail infrastructure. What we sketch out is not a final state for Great Britain’s transport network, but merely the beginnings of a network that will enable and encourage sustainable mobility for all.
