Introduction   * Practical and realistic transport policy cognizes key factors ( Department of transport, 1994).   * The 2002 transport policy in the UK taxes car drivers on CO2 emissions (Glaister, 1996).   * Cars are convenient means of transport in UK.   * Car ownership is a norm among UK households.   * The impact of car rise raises concern leading to introduction of transport tax policy (Cossa, 2008).   * Issues surrounding the policy covered in the paper. Background information   * CO2 causes the earth’s temperature to rise (EMCT, 1995).   * The effects are disasters; tornadoes, droughts and frequent floods.   * There is the threat of rise in sea level.   * There is climatic changes. Environmental and Equity Concerns about Transport   * The rise in car ownership in UK raises concern on its impact on the environment, the quality of life and the ecosystem ( Department of Environment, 1998).   * Of concern is the conflict between the policy and social inclusion basing on living standards.   * Environmental concerns about transport falls into; energy consumption, global warming and pollution and its effects (EMCT, 1995).   * Implementation of the transport policy is as a result of statistical data from these concerns (Department of Transport, 1994).   * Issues addressed conform to the current environmental demands.   * Data used is not in line with current environmental challenges.   * As a result of this a political debate is inevitable.   * Rise in sea level impacts on aquatic life (Dawe 2007).   * Food policy makers need to find solutions concerning shortage of aquatic fresh foods.   * Climatic changes influences the twenty first century lifestyle ( De Young, 1996).   * Many challenges arise in dealing with rise in sea level.   * The policy fails to differentiate between environmental concerns of Manchester and those of better global environmental practices.   * Human policies in settlement, commerce, and transport are affected by heavy precipitation (Dawe, 2007). Political issues   * Opposition on the issue comes the building and construction industry.   * Analysis of the policy issues influences designs and methods of construction.   * Life cycle assessment analyses the environmental situation basing on the manufacturing of products and its implementation improves the environment (De Young, 1996).   * The building goal of the 21st century is t cut levels of energy intake (De Young, 1996).   * Consumers having knowledge on goods manufacturing makes them shy away from goods and services whose production affects the environment (Dawe, 2007).   * Reduced distortion on current tax structure leads to economic growth (Cossa, 2008).   * Raising of tax wanes confidence on investors, and depresses economic growth.   * Long range average costs are increased due to a lump sum tax increase.   * Equilibrium price increase causes each firms’ output increase (Cossa, 2008). Recommendations   * The implantation process should stopped basing on facts highlighted.   * The policy lacks protection for locals who are most affected.   * Critical issues lack enough consideration.   * To achieve central objectives, consider; transport not separated from lifestyle, public transport sufficient to solve the issues of car increase.   * People nee
