As well as the 32 local authorities, both of Scotland’s national park authorities have statutory duties on outdoor access. Together they comprise Scotland’s 34 “access authorities”.</p> <p>In September and October of 2025 a working group set up by the Scottish Outdoor Access Network (SOAN) oversaw an online survey of access authorities in Scotland. The survey was delivered by Gavin Corbett of Ramblers Scotland1.

The report finds that a country-wide transition to zero-carbon buses, trains and ferries would allow Scotland to become both self-sufficient and a net exporter of alternative fuels and associated skills and expertise. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://transform.scot/2023/11/28/new-scottish-parliament-report-calls-for-government-to-capitalise-on-scottish-expertise-and-wealth-of-renewables-to-deliver-zero-carbon-public-transport/" rel="nofollow">https://transform.scot/2023/11/28/new-scottish-parliament-report-calls-for-government-to-capitalise-on-scottish-expertise-and-wealth-of-renewables-to-deliver-zero-carbon-public-transport/</a></p> <p>“</p> <p>EXECUTIVE SUMMARY</p> <p> Public transport is vital. It provides people across the country with access to their workplaces, to shops and leisure activities, and underpins Scotland’s tourism sector. Its ability to cut congestion is critical to Scotland’s economy. And it is crucial for cleaner air and cutting emissions.</p> <p>But transport is Scotland’s single most polluting sector, with emissions from transport responsible for over a third of the nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions. In light of the climate emergency, the Scottish Government has committed to cut these emissions by over 50% in the next seven years (by 2030) before reaching net zero by 2045.<br /> To make big cuts in transport emissions, action will be needed both to reduce transport demand and to deliver modal shift to sustainable transport. But it will also be necessary to take action to decarbonise all remaining transport.</p> <p>As the legally-binding target to be a ‘net zero nation’ by 2045 draws closer, the Cross Party Group (CPG) on Sustainable Transport has held an inquiry into the decarbonisation of public transport, in order to assess the challenges, opportunities and action required for delivering decarbonised bus, rail and ferry services across Scotland.</p> <p>This report summarises the evidence presented to the inquiry before providing a set of recommendations to the Scottish Government for delivering a fossil-free future for public transport.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://transform.scot/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Fossil-Free-Future-CPG-Sustainable-Transport-2023-11-28.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://transform.scot/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Fossil-Free-Future-CPG-Sustainable-Transport-2023-11-28.pdf</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21403#post-371856 Wed, 22 Nov 2023 10:32:58 +0000 Arellcat 371856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have no idea who aggregates this Edinburghcentric cycling news feed but it's published weekly:</p> <p><a href="https://substack.com/@edibike" rel="nofollow">https://substack.com/@edibike</a></p> <p>Latest one here:</p> <p><a href="https://edibike.substack.com/p/edibike-issue-15-20th-nov-23?utm_source=profile&amp;utm_medium=reader2" rel="nofollow">https://edibike.substack.com/p/edibike-issue-15-20th-nov-23?utm_source=profile&amp;utm_medium=reader2</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21345#post-369777 Thu, 17 Aug 2023 12:28:52 +0000 chdot 369777@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Job Description</p> <p>Place</p> <p>Transport Manager (Chartered Engineer) - Bridges and Structures<br /> Waverley Court</p> <p>Salary: £47,654 - £57,042 per year<br /> Hours: 36 per week</p> <p>A new opportunity has arisen within Roads &amp; Infrastructure, usually based at Waverley Court but currently a hybrid working style between home and the office.</p> <p>As a result of an internal restructure, an enhanced Structures team has been formed to support the continued asset management of all of the Council’s roads structures assets; including bridges, tunnels, gantries, large culverts and walls.

Many cities took advantage of the pandemic to alter urban transport and mobility, manage the increased production of waste, ensure access to urban nature and green spaces (linked directly to physical activity and mental health) and improve housing and indoor conditions. The pandemic led to a drastic increase in cycling and walking, which required cities to rapidly adapt, manage and provide measures to protect people’s safety, ensure adequate space to prevent infections and keep them physically active.<br /> Cities must increase urban resilience, address systemic failures and reduce inequality as part of<br /> a healthy, sustainable recovery plan. They can begin by consolidating the lessons learnt during lockdowns, rethink urban and transport planning (better location and distribution of the public space) and reconsider the value of urban nature and green and blue spaces. Active mobility should be the cornerstone of sustainable urban development and resilience. Possible interventions include policies and financial instruments to ensure safe infrastructure, facilitate mobility and teleworking, flexible timetables to reduce “peak hours” occupancy of public transport, home deliveries and access to nearby services, goods and amenities.
