Submission Documents: By Bailie Dr Martin Bartos:- "Council reaffirms its belief in the importance of an ecologically and economically sustainable, integrated multi-modal public transport network which is safe, accessible and affordable to serve the needs of people across this and nearby regional authorities. Council notes the worsening climate emergency, as well as the need for a green recovery from the current pandemic, which together underpin the need for effective, collective action on transport. Council welcomes fresh ideas and momentum, such as the Free Our City campaign for free transport. Council recognises Scottish Government's work on active travel and its commitment to the Scottish Greens' proposal for free bus travel for under 19s and agrees that options to extend this should be explored. Council believes sustainable revenue and capital funding is required to underpin a step change towards better public transport and notes that successive Governments have not provided this. Council agrees that in order to achieve better integration and delivery of this essential public service and to deliver any ambitious new public transport projects: 1. the public transport network must move into public control, and 2. government must agree with Transport Authorities a new mechanism for sustainable revenue funding. Council agrees to write to Scottish Ministers asking them to engage with the Transport Authorities to give effect to these recommendations." Help Icon
