🚍 NEW REPORT: Public backs bus priority—now it’s time for action Today, we launch ‘Life in the Bus Lane’, revealing strong public support for bus priority measures—even from non-bus users 👇 transform.scot/our-work/our... 🧵 Read on for key findings & what needs to change [1/5]

Yes, spot on. Let's see the £10m *only* spent on delivering bus priority. Five years of buggering about and, as far as I can see, precisely no new bus lanes on the roads.

Bus Partnership Fund reported as having been "concluded" by Transport Scotland according to Route One magazine. So concluded only c. £473m short of the £500m originally committed. We wait to see how the replacement £10m Bus Infrastructure Fund will work. www.route-one.net/news/bus-inf...

So the £500m Bus Partnership Fund has indeed been cancelled, not "paused", as Transport Scotland claimed earlier this year. But it has been replaced by a £10m 'Bus Infrastructure Fund'. www.gov.scot/binaries/con... Unclear whether this new fund comes at the expense of active travel investment.

Just having a look at the transport aspects of the #ScottishBudget document now. As ever, the thing is difficult to scrutinise because of the general opacity of the information presented.

Wednesday's #ScotBudget needs to deliver for #SustainableTransport: 🚌 Reinstate investment in bus priority 🚶‍♀️ Invest in the healthiest modes of transport 🚃 Get rail electrification plans back on track 💷 Develop new revenue sources Our priorities: transform.scot/2024/12/03/t...

The @transformscot.bsky.social 'Ideas for Investment' report contains my article on how in Iceland action is being taken now to implement road pricing for EVs. transform.scot/2024/11/27/f... It's now almost 4 years since Scot Gov committed to road traffic reduction. We're long overdue for action.

Hello Bluesky! I'd encourage you all to have a look at the new @transformscot.bsky.social report published today. Lots of opportunity to put in place the investment needed to deliver sustainable transport in Scotland.
