Actions for a fairer, greener transport system [Transport Scotland]

Date: 17/12/2020

The first annual Delivery Plan for Scotlands National Transport Strategy has been published, setting out actions to improve transport for the future and address the impacts of COVID-19.

The Strategy outlines four priorities for our transport system: that it reduces inequalities; takes climate action; helps deliver inclusive economic growth; and improves our health and wellbeing.

This Delivery Plan contains the actions being carried out by the Scottish Government to address each of those priorities while supporting a green recovery from the global pandemic; including a new action to encourage people back on to public transport post-COVID 19 when it is safe and appropriate to do so.
