Transport

Aggregate mineral carried by road

2007: 200,000,000 tonnes (GB)

Decrease in tonnage carried by road brings benefits in terms of reduced emissions and disturbance to communities. However, when comparing these figures to those of rail and water transport, it would indicate that this reduction is not through use of alternative methods of transportation, but due to an overall reduction in tonnage to be transported.

?

Seek alternatives to road transport where possible.
