Delivery

We want to see significant improvement in the quality of the strategic road network and the lifeline routes; in the quality of public transport vehicles, vessels and aircraft where these are aging, uncomfortable or unreliable; in the speed and quality of rail services; and we want to see much better facilities at key terminals and interchanges. We will pursue the following initiatives:

o Upgrade key sections of the strategic network and lifeline roads which are single track

o Upgrade of the key trunk roads which enable travel to and from the region (A82, A96, A9, A95)

o Upgrade of ageing vessels, buses and trains

o Quality facilities at key airports, ports, stations and interchanges

o Multi-modal freight interchanges at strategic locations

o Upgrade of the rail network for higher speed, higher frequency services, and more carriage of freight

o Fixed links to replace short ferry crossings

o Priority bus routes in towns

o Improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians
