The Department for Transport is not meeting most of its targets and lacks a "clear strategy" to put it right, a committee of MPs has concluded (link below.)

Targets for congestion , air quality , public transport and carbon dioxide emissions , are being missed , it said.

Of seven targets , the department was meeting only two , for road safety and rail punctuality , the report claimed.

Commons transport committee chairman Gwyneth Dunwoody said: "This is a terrible picture of failure."

"The department's only successes are against road safety and rail punctuality targets.

"And I imagine that most rail users would be surprised to hear their experiences described as the pinnacle of the department's annual achievements, while success against the road casualty targets is subdued by the daily toll of death and injury."
