… towards the use of electric heating and vehicles. For instance, energy efficiency improvements in buildings enable systems such as heat pumps to work at a higher level of efficiency. Similarly, a large-scale shift to the use of electric vehicles must also be accompanied by a significant modal shift towards walking, cycling, ridesharing, and an increase in the use of public transport to deliver…
… benefit from sustainable transportation infrastructure. This includes, but is not limited to: ‘… promotion and infrastructure for public transport e.g. accessible bus stops, shelters […] implementation of infrastructure to support integrated sustainable travel – walking, cycling, public transport, car sharing etc. For example – bus priority measures, cycle lanes and facilities, improvements…
… to pedestrian routes to key trip attractors, better rail / bus / cycle interchanges [and] charging points for electric vehicles and smart ticketing initiatives…’ LTP3 also acknowledges the need to ‘look at non-transport measures which reduce the need to travel to access services.’ As evidenced in Section 2 of this report, the transportation sector accounts for nearly half of CO2e emissions in Wealden…
…, but are not limited to: • Implementation of a comprehensive energy efficient retrofit of the WDC offices at Vicarage Lane site in Hailsham. This included installation of air source heat pumps, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy generation, passive ventilation, cycle storage, and dedicated car-share bays. • Exploring opportunities for investment in low carbon and renewable energy technologies, including heat…
