Ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn gweld newidiadau na welwyd eu tebyg o’r blaen ac mae’r newidiadau hynny’n cael effaith ar bob agwedd ar ein bywydau, gan effeithio’n benodol ar bob un o’r dulliau teithio. Ar ôl i’r cyfyngiadau gael eu gosod, rydym wedi gweld gostyngiadau mawr mewn traffig modurol ar bob rhan o’r rhwydwaith ffyrdd, llawer llai yn defnyddio’r bysiau a’r trenau a mwy o gerdded a beicio, ar gyfer teithiau hanfodol a hefyd ar gyfer ymarfer corff dyddiol. Rydyn ni wedi gweld cynnydd sylweddol mewn gweithio o bellter sydd wedi dangos nad oes angen i ni gyd deithio pellteroedd mawr at ddibenion gwaith, ac rydyn ni eisiau cynnal hyn wrth i ni ganfod normal newydd. Er lles yr aer a anadlwn ac er lles hinsawdd y byd ac iechyd y cyhoedd, mae angen inni geisio cynnal y newid hwn ac osgoi mynd yn ôl i batrymau teithio cyn Covid.
We are currently experiencing unprecedented changes that affect all aspects of our lives, and transport, across all modes, is particularly affected. With the restrictions imposed, we have seen large reductions in motorised traffic on all parts of the road network, much reduced patronage of buses and trains and higher rates of walking and cycling, both for essential journeys and for daily exercise. We have seen a vast increase in digital remote working which has shown that we do not all need to travel long distances for work, and we wish to see this maintained as we find a new normal. For the sake of the air we all breathe, the world’s climate and public health, we need to try and lock in this shift and avoid returning to pre-Covid travel patterns.
