SCOTTISH SCHOOL TRAVEL ADVISORY GROUP REPORT
SECTION C The Way Forward
Information Needs
1. DfT (formerly DTLR) has commissioned a substantial programme of research in support of the UK STAG. (Details are attached at Annex C) While the results of the more analytical projects are applicable to Scotland, some of the more practically focused ones may not be, especially where the fieldwork has been based solely in England and Wales.
2. The Group agreed on the need to commission separate research in Scotland in order to inform the implementation of the Group's recommendations; and to monitor and evaluate new initiatives or actions arising from the Group's recommendations. A programme of research agreed by the Group is attached at Annex D.
Future of the Scottish School Travel Advisory Group
3. The Group advises that this report be widely distributed to all interested parties in Scotland and that a new possibly smaller Group be formed to draw up a strategy for the implementation of its recommendations.
4. This smaller Group should be prepared to co-opt additional members to contribute their expertise as required.
