New Policy Brief - on Transport Policy

The Policy Centre has published a new Policy Brief - on transport policy. Key points -

  • According to the 2021 Census there were 1.53 cars or vans per household in Jersey compared with 1.24 in England. 16% of households did not have a car or van, the proportion varying from 2% in St Mary to 30% in St Helier.
  • 28% of carbon emissions derive from road transport. The key targets to be met by 2030 in the Carbon Neutral Roadmap include ending registration of new petrol and diesel cars and small vans and 67% of vehicles decarbonised.
  • The default assumption in Government plans is that fuel duty rises in line with inflation. However, in the last two Government Plans fuel duty has been frozen at a cost of £5 million a year.
  • The Sustainable Transport Policy, published in December, makes no reference to fuel taxes and does not provide an analysis of how the 2030 objectives are to be pursued. It prioritises six areas including raising the profile of public transport and managing vehicle movement through parking measures.
