Meeting the challenge of Scotland's Transport Strategy

Join us for the Transport Planning Society’s September panel discussion, this time in Edinburgh. We will be joined by a range of speakers providing insights into how different tiers of government have been approaching the challenge of the Scottish National Transport Strategy’s commitment to cut car kilometres by 20%, by 2030. Join us in-person at Stantec’s offices near Haymarket, or join us online from around the country.

The ambition of the Scottish NTS2 is admirable, but is it proving to be achievable? We will hear from three speakers at varying levels of national to local governance to provide an insight into approaches they have been taking to achieving the Scottish Government’s target of reducing car kilometres by 20% by 2030.

Starting with an overview from Transport Scotland, Stephen Cragg and Phil McCluskey will present on the background to the NTS2, and the work ‘at the top’ being undertaken to achieve its goals.

Daisy Narayanan at City of Edinburgh Council will give an insight into how Edinburgh has been approaching the challenge – particularly in her role as Head of Placemaking and Mobility.

Finally, Sue Hilder, Sustainable Travel and Access Manager at Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park will discuss the subject of longer transport journeys made by those travelling to and from rural areas.
