Help shape National Transport Strategy review

You can help shape the National Transport Strategy review by taking part in an online survey.

The review of the National Transport Strategy will set out an updated vision for what kind of transport we want for the whole of Scotland in 20 years’ time and how we plan to get there. It will also look at how we can successfully address the strategic challenges facing our transport network and how we can make the most of the opportunities that present themselves.

Transport Scotland is committed to delivering a collaborative review of the National Transport Strategy (NTS), by giving individuals and communities across Scotland a greater say in influencing the development of transport policy at local, regional and national level.

They are carrying out an online survey at this early stage to help them shape the key themes of the NTS review.

They are asking:

• Have you used, or referred to, the 2006 National Transport Strategy (NTS)? 
• The current strategy sets out the three key strategic outcomes of improved journey times and connections; reduced emissions; and improved quality, accessibility and affordability. Do you think each of these will still be relevant over the next 20 years?
• If there was one thing that needs to change substantially now in transport, what would that be?
• What do you think are the main transport challenges and opportunities over the next 20 years?
• How would you like us to engage with you during the development of the future strategy that will lead to a formal public consultation?

The survey will be open until 31 March 2017.

Take the survey

You can request a hard copy of the survey, and get more information, by emailing NTSreview@transportscotland.gsi.gov.uk.

Transport Scotland will then build on these early engagement activities from Summer 2017 onwards with a wide programme of in-depth engagement, including stakeholder events and online/digital channels, which will culminate with a public consultation.
