Scotland's National Transport Strategy: A Consultation

Description

The need for a National Transport Strategy – NTS – has been clear for some time. Over the past few years, as the profile of Scottish transport and the level of our investment in it have grown under devolution, stakeholders have told us time and again that what is needed is a single, comprehensive national statement of our objectives, priorities and plans for the long term. This consultation document is a major step towards that.

Balancing the economic, environmental, social, safety and integration objectives that we set for transport in our White Paper in 2004, Scotland’s Transport Future, is a fundamental challenge. We set out the importance of sustainable economic growth in our Framework for Economic Development in Scotland, and our Partnership Agreement notes that a successful economy is key to our future prosperity and a pre-requisite for building first class public services, social justice and a Scotland of opportunity. The importance of progressing these objectives in an integrated way was further reinforced in Choosing our Future, our recent sustainable development strategy. This consultation paper poses a lot of the big questions about what we should be doing in transport to make those objectives a reality over the long term. It provides a key opportunity to consult on transport policy to enable a National Transport Strategy to be developed later this year. Everyone, I am pleased to say, has a view on transport. In developing this consultation paper, my officials have undertaken a series of meetings with stakeholders, with the aim of gathering information and advice to inform its preparation. I would like to thank everyone who has participated so far, and hope that you will continue to take part in the process as we now go forward into this written consultation period. With your help, we will deliver a high quality NTS which will guide all our work for the long term.

After the current period of consultation and analysis, the NTS will be developed and published later in 2006 and will guide transport policy formulation and investment over the next 20 years by all those involved in Scottish transport. It will act as a reference point for all who wish to contribute to transport policy, planning or practice. Alongside our guidance to regional transport partnerships, it will also guide the preparation of the new regional transport strategies.
