The Department for Transport (DfT) is a UK government department responsible for the English transport network and a limited number of transport matters in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It oversees the development and implementation of transport policies, ensuring the safety and security of the transport system, and promoting sustainable transport solutions.

Sustainability Initiatives:

• The DfT is committed to reducing carbon emissions from the transport sector, which is a significant contributor to the UK's overall carbon footprint.
• It has launched various initiatives to promote the use of electric vehicles, including grants for electric car buyers and investments in charging infrastructure.
• The department supports public transport improvements and active travel options like cycling and walking to reduce reliance on private vehicles.
• It is involved in projects aimed at developing sustainable aviation fuels and reducing emissions from maritime transport.
• The DfT regularly publishes reports on its progress towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with the UK's broader environmental goals.
