Motor vehicle emissions contain pollutants that contribute to outdoor air pollution. An examination of the peer-reviewed literature shows that there are many previous analyses that estimate the economic costs of congestion based on fuel and time wasted, but that these studies don’t include the costs of the potential public health impacts. Sitting in traffic leads to higher tailpipe emissions which everyone is exposed to, and the economic costs of those exposures have not been explored.

The Mayor of London has declared his aim of delivering a "cycling revolution‟ for the city by 2026; delivering a 400 per cent increase (from 2001) in the number of cycling trips and a 5 per cent mode share for cycling. In "Cycling Revolution London‟, the Mayor sets out his vision for London to become a cyclised city: one where people can ride their bikes safely, enjoyably and easily in an environment that embraces cycling. Making this a reality requires that physical and cultural changes are made in the city, demanding further investment, strong partnership working across the Capital and continued political leadership.
