Welcome to Nestrans - The Transport Partnership for Aberdeen City and Shire.
We're working hard with Councils, the Scottish Government and transport operators to improve transport in the north east. We have developed a regional transport strategy to 2021 and are responsible for delivering a £3 million programme of infrastructure projects. We are also working with our partners to secure major improvements to our rail, bus and road networks to better connect the region and increase accessibility for all.
