CBI call for changes to work patterns to cut congestion

Geoff Riley

The Confederation of British Industry has a new report out on the costs of the congested road and motorway network in the UK. Road pricing is one of their favoured options and they emphasise too the importance of changes to work patterns including flexible hours and more home working as a way of reducing peak-time congestion.

“With vehicle traffic having grown by a quarter in just 20 years, road congestion now costs the economy an estimated £7-8bn a year, which is likely to more than double by 2025 unless more action is taken”

The CBI report can be downloaded from here
