REDUCTION IN THE USE OF LOW PASSENGER CAPACITY IN MOTOR VEHICLES
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
Encouraging the use of public transport or shared use of motor vehicles to travel to and from venues of CTC events /activities.
Encourage the use of locations, promotion, and marketing of cycle rides, cycling holiday/tours and activities that encourage the use of public transport to travel to and from event/activities.
Proposer’s note: The CTC
One of CTC objectives relates especially to the ‘promote the conservation and protection of the environment. That is negated if the motor vehicle is a single occupation. This increases a person’s annual carbon footprint and hence contributes to climate change.
Many events and cycle rides at the local level start at locations that are impossible to get to unless a motor vehicle is used, this practise should be reviewed.
The member survey indicated 71% support for ‘Encouraging cycle use to benefit the environment.

CYCLE CARRIAGE ON TRAINS
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
• review Its cycle carriage on trains policy
• review Its engagement with Local Transport Groups Train Service Providers and National Rail etc
• encourages local groups to engage directly with community rail partnerships to lobby for better cycle facilities both on trains (including removal of seats to create multi-use flexible space carriages as recently seen in Scotland) and at stations.
• Engage in partnership with the European Cycling Federation to increase capacity in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Proposer’s note: The CTC
We recognise that we need to effectively with influential stakeholder to gain support to reverse the underfunding and the lack of provision since privatization.
Many events and cycle rid0es at local, national, or internal level start at locations it impossible to get to unless air flight and motor vehicle are used to gain access to the start location.
The use of flexible space on trains is a quick, cheap, and easy way to increase capacity that has been recently taken up by Scot Rail

HIGHWAY AGENCY
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
That CTC shall:
• seek funding for an officer to engage exclusively with Highway England and similar bodies.
• review its policy on existing major road infrastructure etc and barriers it creates for cycling.
• seek to reduce the effects of existing barriers and seek to prevent the creation of new ones
Proposer’s note: The CTC
With every prospect of a major infrastructure scheme that creates a physical barrier to cycling particularly affecting the new cyclist, we need influence planning at an early stage and is very time consuming and mean that it does not get the attention it desired by our hard-working staff.
