Transport, Congestion & Pollution: What's Next For Scotland?

Monday 25 June 2007

Hilton Grosvenor Hotel, Haymarket, Edinburgh

Keynote speaker

Michéle Dix, Co-Director of Congestion Charging, Transport for London

The Conference

Transport will continue holding a prominent place on Scotland's public service delivery agenda. Transport is a public service that impacts national economic and environmental issues, as well as overall well-being. Which individuals and groups benefit or lose because of local transport options is a complicated issue and depends on the system's construction. There are important questions to be considered as Scotland determines its priorities for the next four years.

Is it possible to have a rational discussion about road pricing in Scotland? What can be learned from past debate on proposed transport solutions in Scotland in order to move forward? What can Scotland learn from London's congestion charging scheme? Can future transport policy effectively incorporate the desires of the public and consideration of factors like EU emissions targets? What blend of commitment to improving public transport and other incentives to reduce congestion could win the broadest support?

This is a pivotal moment to be involved in the ongoing discussion about effective, appropriate transport solutions for Scotland. This one-day conference will bring together policy makers, transport professionals, those in finance, academics and other key stakeholders to discuss the transport options for Scotland.
