Evaluating the contribution that key regional strategies make towards addressing climate change is a report commissioned by the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Assembly to examine and evaluate measures needed to achieve a reduction in CO<sub2> emissions from transport, to meet regional targets. This paper describes research undertaken to identify practical, deliverable measures within the scope of regional transport policy, to meet the Stabilising Carbon Trends scenario identified in the report. The research suggests that even with significant large scale implementation of an uncompromising suite of current practical transport policy approaches to delivering low carbon transport, in the Yorkshire and Humber region, this aim is unlikely to be achieved.
