A Manifesto for the Future of Scottish Transport

ITS UK’s Manifesto for the Future of Scottish Transport sets out five recommendations for a future Scottish Government ahead of the May 2026 devolved elections.

Recommendations

  1. Provide support to renew obsolescent urban traffic signal infrastructure to futureproof the network.
  2. Build upon the MaaS Investment Fund to drive a more strategic approach to integrated transport in Scotland with leadership from Scottish Government.
  3. Support greater budgets for operational expenditure at a local authority level, to purchase innovative software tech.
  4. Leverage DRT to increase public transport availability especially in rural and island areas.
  5. Deliver a Scottish Bus Open Data Service (BODS) to improve alignment between transport operators and passenger experience.
