Transform Scotlands new report ‘In Reverse’, published yesterday, finds that the Scottish Government has failed to meet 7 out of 10 key commitments made over the past five years to invest in, and prioritise, sustainable transport.
In Reverse reviews whether 10 crucial sustainable transport commitments made in recent years are being met.
“We found that only 3 of the 10 commitments are on track, with the remaining 7 showing limited or no progress, or appear to have been abandoned by the Scottish Government,” says Transform Scotland.
The report comes ahead of this week’s ‘Programme for Government’ (PfG) announcement.
In light of these findings, the organisation is calling on the First Minister John Swinney to comprehensively review the spending commitments of its executive agency Transport Scotland and for the reversal of the bitter cuts to public transport and active travel implemented by his predecessor.
