Transport
Transport Scotland is progressing work on the National Transport Strategy (NTS) review and the second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2). This work will set the vision, policies and projects for Scotland’s Strategic Transport network for the coming 20 years. As part of this work, Transport Scotland has established regional Transport Working Groups and is taking forward discussions with the Ayrshire partners on appropriate working arrangements.
Transport Scotland and the recently appointed STPR consultant team will work with the regional group to develop the evidence base around problems and opportunities, define transport planning objectives and undertake regional transport appraisal work. This work will inform the review of emerging NTS policies, the work on STPR2, and ensure that appropriate consideration is given to Ayrshire’s transport infrastructure and the Growth Deal projects when setting the regional and national policy and intervention priorities.
