📊What do YOU think about large SUVs in cities? Earlier this month, we asked and you answered. From safety concerns to space use, Edinburgh residents shared strong views on the impact of carspreading and the rise of larger vehicles on our roads.

📦 How can we cut emissions from local deliveries? Join us on Wed 1 October as the @parliament.scot #SustainableTransportCPG kicks off a new inquiry into the future of last-mile logistics in Scotland.

NEW: We’ve just published our annual report. Over the last 12 months we have focused on: - Getting people walking more and driving less - How to raise funds for sustainable transport - Tackling inequalities in transport Read our full report here:👇 transform.scot/2025/09/17/o...

🚙💰 UK Forfeits almost £2bn by Remaining a Tax Haven for SUVs. 💡 The solution? T&E UK proposes a simple weight-based levy, ensuring larger vehicles pay their fair share. www.transportenvironment.org/te-united-ki...

Fantastic news from @alexanderdennis.bsky.social this morning that the company “intends to keep Scottish manufacturing sites open and operational”. Great work by Scottish Government, but too close for comfort. Now's the time for a Scottish bus industrial strategy. transform.scot/2025/09/15/n...

🚗 SUVs don’t belong in cities - and most Scots agree. New @yougov.co.uk polling shows the majority of people in Scotland think SUVs are unnecessary in towns and cities - and are already causing real problems. 👇 transform.scot/2025/09/10/g... #Carspreading #SustainableTransport

🚋 18 organisations from across public, private and third sectors are backing plans to extend Edinburgh’s tram network. This would cut emissions, boost jobs, and connect underserved communities. #Edinburgh #TransportPolicy Read our joint statement of support: transform.scot/2025/09/09/c...

📢 Ahead of tomorrow’s Scottish Government debate ‘Twenty Years of Scotland’s Railway: Providing a Strong Platform for the Future’, we've published a parliamentary briefing highlighting key priorities for the future of rail in Scotland. transform.scot/2025/09/08/t...

A big welcome for the scrapping of peak fares on ScotRail network as from today. As our rail policy advisor Paul Tetlaw put it: "No longer will rail travellers be penalised for travelling at peak times when motorists and other road users face no such penalty."

NEW: The Scottish Parliament’s CPG on Sustainable Transport launches its #FutureofFreight work programme. The first meeting in a series on sustainable freight will be held on 1 October, with speakers from @cleancitiescampaign.org, Royal Mail and @gridsmartercities.bsky.social. Find out more:

Scottish Government announces another £40m for zero-emission buses: www.transport.gov.scot/news/further... Great news for decarbonising fleets, though curious to slip it out at 5pm Friday. Let’s hope it helps secure bus manufacturing jobs here in Scotland.

It is very welcome that the Scottish Government is now proactively intervening to secure the future of Scottish bus manufacturing capacity. www.thenational.scot/news/2534445...

How do we make sustainable transport a 2026 election priority? This week we brought 50+ members together in Stirling to share insights on influencing party manifestos. Catch up on the event, slides & what’s next 👇 transform.scot/2025/07/25/b...

I finally get an outlet to write about this topic = thanks @transform.scot!

📣 A positive story for sustainable transport. Board member @rachaelrevesz.bsky.social outlines why the reclassification of pick up trucks matters for safer streets 👇 transform.scot/2025/07/21/h... "This shows that the government can make progressive change without causing a huge fanfare."

Simple zebra crossings are an easy and low-cost means of giving pedestrians priority. @sustrans.bsky.social latest report backs their wider use 👇 www.sustrans.org.uk/our-blog/new... We now need UK Gov to give councils the power to make them commonplace.

"People who depend on cars to get around are more likely to feel lonely and disconnected than those who have access to good public transport, a UK study has found" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Very concerning that levels of travelling actively to school are below 2015 levels - a decade of no national progress despite individual schools seeing improvements. % of children being driven to school going up last year should prompt reflection from gov on why & joined up action to tackle it.

@gillianamartin.bsky.social We'd like to raise the fines with engine idling, as we've done with pavement parking, as we've done with LEZs, and enforce the fines, so kids - and all of us - have cleaner air. £20 fine doesn't cover the cost, it won't change behaviour. www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Why are we letting private jet users off the hook? 12,000+ private jets used our airports in 2024. A fair tax could have raised £29m. Scotland has the powers to tax these flights & stop our airports being a playground for the world’s wealthiest polluters 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Transport poverty – lack of affordable, accessible, reliable, & safe transport – is a hidden crisis. The #SustainableTransportCPG inquiry report Mind the Gap calls on Government to define and measure this phenomenon for a fairer Scotland. Read more 👇 transform.scot/our-work/our...

This government wants to expand airports up and down the country. But who will this really benefit? Ultra-frequent flyers. @alchap.bsky.social spoke at today's Environmental Audit Committee.

One of the biggest obstacles I face as a safe streets advocate is opening people’s eyes to the fact that their driving everywhere cheaply ensures that a great number of people can get nowhere

📣 NEW REPORT 'Mind the Gap' from the #SustainableTransportCPG finds Scotland’s transport system is excluding majority of Scots 👇 (1/) transform.scot/2025/06/17/m...

🚨Scotland’s 20% traffic reduction target is back on track. We welcome this renewed focus — less cars on our roads means better air quality, safer streets and a more efficient network. Now we need action, not just words. Our response: transform.scot/2025/06/13/a...

What role can transport play in tackling inequality in Scotland? We discussed this and more with the #SustainableTransportCPG in parliament last night. Look out for the Group's final report and recommendations for government next week... 📘 Find out about the CPG: transform.scot/our-work/our...

It has been long known that Scottish bus manufacturing is at risk from unfair Chinese competition. We said so a year ago. Now it’s happening – and Holyrood is stuck in blame games. Isn’t it time for cross-party action instead of political point-scoring?

NEW: Analysis from @transenv.bsky.social on bonnet heights shows the alarming growth rate of bigger and heavier cars – more likely to kill or seriously injure pedestrians, especially children. If we're serious about having healthy and safe places to live, we desperately put people first, not cars.

📣 Join the #SustainableTransportCPG this Wednesday for its wrap-up event on its inquiry into transport inequalities in Scotland. We'll hear from Cab Sec for Transport @fionahyslop.bsky.social and panellists: @officialsyp.bsky.social @swbg.bsky.social @descot.bsky.social & Public Health Scotland

Great to see Scottish Government put public transport users first in #PfG2025. Scrapping peak rail fares is a good step – but we still need affordable buses to make public transport truly cheaper than driving 👇 transform.scot/2025/05/06/w...

NEW: @johnswinney.bsky.social announces ScotRail peak fares to be scrapped for good from 1 September 2025. We're following #ProgrammeforGovernment live 👇 www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meet...

Will the #PfG2025 finally deliver for public transport users? We’re calling for: 🚌 Bus priority 🎟️ Fairer fares 🚶 Active travel investment 🚗 A real plan to cut car use Our calls for @scotgov 👇 transform.scot/2025/05/05/w...

Our rail spokesperson @Paultetlaw commented: "Journey times on the WCML require major improvements to allow rail to compete with air on this key route and to match those on the east coast route."

✍ Is there really a “war on motorists” in Scotland? Ahead of this afternoon's debate in parliament, we’ve issued an evidence-based briefing to debunk the claim. Read the briefing: transform.scot/2025/04/30/w...

We're in @scotsman.com this week calling out the government for failing public transport users 👇 scotsman.com/news/transpo... (paywall) How can we expect Scots to switch to greener transport when promises keep being broken? [1/4]

🚨 Target to cut car use by 20% dropped We're deeply disappointed to see the Scottish Government backpedal on its commitment to reducing reliance on cars. We need traffic reduction more than ever – for better public health, safer streets, and a stronger economy. Read our response in full 👇

Another dismal failure by Scottish Government on sustainable transport: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... We don't need another plan. We need to see Transport Scotland prioritise taking action to reduce traffic levels. Here's some things they could do now: transform.scot/2024/09/23/f...
