The Vision
In the 2004 Transport White Paper, Scotland's Transport Future, Scottish Ministers set out the Scottish Executive's vision for transport:
'An accessible Scotland with safe, integrated and reliable transport that supports economic growth, provides opportunities for all and is easy to use; a transport system that meets everyone's needs, respects our environment and contributes to health; services recognised internationally for quality, technology and innovation, and for effective and well-maintained networks; a culture where fewer short journeys are made by car, where we favour public transport, walking and cycling because they are safe and sustainable, where transport providers and planners respond to the changing needs of businesses, communities and users, and where one ticket will get you anywhere'.
The purpose of Transport Scotland is to help deliver this vision, as follows:
Our purpose is to support delivery of the Scottish Executive's vision for sustainable transport in Scotland, making a real difference for people and businesses using the national rail and road systems.
The aims, objectives and targets required of Transport Scotland to fulfil its purpose are set out in detail in the Corporate Plan, together with the milestones and performance indicators used to measure successful delivery. Transport Scotland is subject to regular Business Reviews with the Minister for Transport, and more detailed annual targets and performance indicators for each year are set out in the Annual Business Plan, which is updated each year.
