Transport 2000 executive director Stephen Joseph said: "The government should use its powers and money creatively to make the words 'integrated transport' a reality on the ground in the next year."

Friends of the Earth publishes a survey on Tuesday to coincide with the first anniversary of the White Paper.

It says only 26% of 149 highway authorities in England were in favour of road pricing.

Two in three supported workplace parking charges, while more than 90% backed bus priority measures and incentives for bus passengers and cyclists.

Tightening parking controls were supported by 86%, while 89% backed traffic-calming measures.

Friends of the Earth transport campaigner Tony Bosworth said: "Local councils believe traffic reduction policies are needed, but one year on, we are no further forward."

Cycling should be encouraged, say campaigners

Adding fuel to the transport controversy is a research document from Cambridge University which found a lack of public confidence in the government's ability to meet their transport needs.

The authors, Professor David Newbery and Georgina Santos, say road infrastructure plans are suffering from "fudge rather than rational policy making".

They suggest creating a new agency - Roadtrack - to take over responsibility for Britain's motorways and trunk roads.

The Cambridge researchers say road taxes should be replaced by road user charges which would be levied by Roadtrack and used directly on the roads.
