Scotland’s National Transport Strategy 2 (NTS2) sets out the vision for Scotland’s transport system to the year 2040. The NTS2 outlines the four priorities for the transport system:

• Reduces inequalities
• Takes climate action
• Helps deliver inclusive economic growth
• Improves our health and wellbeing.

The first NTS2 Delivery Plan sets out strategic policies and the broad actions the Scottish Government (SG) is taking to deliver on its vision and priorities to the end of March 2022, taking account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Impact assessments are being undertaken on 37 strategic policies within the NTS2 Delivery Plan and we would like to get your views on the initial screening of impacts through this consultation survey. The impact assessments are:

• Social and Equality Impact Assessment (SEQIA (incorporating an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA), Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment (CRWIA), Fairer Scotland Duty Assessment (FSDA).
• Island Communities Impact Assessment (ICIA)
• Health Inequality Impact Assessment (HIIA)
• Business Regulatory Impact Assessment (BRIA)

The consultation closes on 5 January 2022 and we would welcome CIHT members in Scotland to submit their views ASAP.
