The Low Emission Strategies Partnership, committed to reducing transport emissions, supports local authorities in implementing effective low emission strategies. Through regional groups across cities like London, Liverpool, and Leeds, the partnership promotes best practices in incentivizing low emission fuels and technologies. The project, funded by Defra AQ Grant and Greenwich s106 funds, focuses on filling information gaps, developing robust data for vehicle technologies, and creating flexible tools for planning. Join us in this vital initiative to combat air pollution and greenhouse gases.
