Transform Scotland is pleased to be one of the sixty organisations supporting Walk, Wheel, Cycle, Vote<\/a>.

Transform director Colin Howden said:<\/p>\n

“It’s just four weeks now until the local elections. Since last May’s Scottish Parliament elections, the Scottish Government has made a vital commitment to investment in active travel, committing to at least \u00a3320 million or 10% of the total transport budget to be invested in active travel by 2024-25.<\/em><\/p>\n

“But we’re only going to move to be a country that walks, wheels and cycles rather than drives if local politicians are willing to deliver this in their own areas. This is why it is essential that we see local election candidates for this May’s elections make clear commitment to the three campaign pledges set out by Walk, Wheel, Cycle, Vote.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
