Consultation on a New Regional Transport Strategy 2024-2034 (Consultation Closed)
Tactran have worked on a new Tayside and Central Scotland Regional Transport Strategy to address the challenges and opportunities that have arisen since 2015, not least the Climate Emergency declared by the Scottish Government and our constituent Councils.
Between June and August 2021 public and stakeholder engagement was undertaken to help identify the issues to be considered when developing the strategy. This informed the strategy’s draft objectives and outcomes. Between July 2022 and November 2022 public and stakeholder engagement was undertaken, seeking view on the draft objectives and outcomes; the scale of change required to hit national targets; and the measures which could help delivery the identified outcomes. Between July 2023 and November 2023 public and stakeholder engagement was undertaken, seeking views on a draft strategy.
A final draft has now been prepared and as a statutory document requires submission to the Minister for Transport for approval.
