The future of Transport in Glasgow should be focused on making it easier to walk, cycle and wheel in the city, with active travel being the natural choice for short journeys. There should also be a focus on promoting modal integration within and between active and sustainable modes (public transport) to enable truly sustainable door-to-door journeys.

Focus should be on the right development in the right place, rather than to allow development at any cost. When identifying land for housing supply, development should be directed to the re-use or re-development of brownfield land and there must be a firm presumption against development of greenfield sites.

Active travel has an important role to play in improving rural connectivity, and for delivering a green transition. In response to the current pandemic, there is a need to ensure that transport infrastructure decision-making and spending takes into account the need to support physical distancing for active travel and public transport, both now and in response to future pandemics.

The review of the Highway Code aims to improve road safety for people on bikes, pedestrians and horse riders.

Cycling Scotland's response to the Scotland’s Towns Partnership Towns Review focuses on the multiple benefits of prioritising developments for active travel.

Investment in coherent networks of safe, easy to access segregated cycling infrastructure is needed to support the modal shift to active travel.

Almost 200 organisations run access to bikes schemes in Scotland, which include fleets of pool bikes, bike loans for events, public bike hire, cycle to work schemes and bike recycling schemes. Find out more in our 2020 report.

Cycling and active travel has a key role in achieving a Just Transition to net-zero emissions and can help to address the overwhelming challenges of the climate emergency.

Focused on electric scooters (escooters), as the micromobility mode most of relevance but many of the principles apply to other forms of micromobility as well.

We welcome the vision set for the city of Edinburgh but acknowledge existing challenges

The overwhelming challenges presented by the climate emergency are the top priority for STPR2 decisions.
