Nestrans 2040 Regional Transport Strategy – Monitoring

In November 2021, the Minister for Transport approved Nestrans’ new Regional Transport Strategy (RTS), Nestrans 2040. The Nestrans Board adopted the RTS as its position of strategic transport policy for the next twenty years.
 
The Nestrans Board agreed to introduce a Monitoring framework which sets baselines for key indicators and targets (to both 2030 and 2040). Each year Nestrans will present the monitoring report to Board. This is so that Nestrans can track policies, and if necessary, adjust towards achieving the targets.

This is being used to inform the Regional Transport Strategy, work on Transport Scotland’s second Strategic Transport Projects Review, and other relevant documents.
