In 2009, a study was done in the East of England to see how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation to meet climate goals. The UK wanted to cut emissions by at least 80% by 2050. The study found that road transport in the region made up a big part of local emissions. If nothing changed, these emissions would likely increase and harm the environment. The researchers wanted to see how the transport sector could be changed to be low carbon and how this would affect the economy. It's important for the UK government to have a modern and eco-friendly transport system for a strong economy.
