- Independent Transport Commission Press Release 19 July 2004 (2) .
The Independent Transport Commission (ITC) has published a report, "Suburban future" which shows that 29m people live, work and play in the suburbs of England. These people are car-dependent and will find that by 2021 it could take them longer to get to work. A journey that currently takes 25 minutes could, by that date, take them 35 minutes. A massive 60% of England's traffic growth is forecast for these suburbs. The ITC wants to see land use and transport polices being tailored to these areas - urgently. The full report can be found at: http://trg1.civil.soton.ac.uk/itc/subex02_main.pdf . http://www.trg.soton.ac.uk/itc/news_190704.htm
