\"\"<\/a>The Scottish Parliamentary elections in May will prove crucial for the future of sustainable transport in Scotland. In advance of May\u2019s Scottish Parliament elections, we are hosting a series of online events to provide our members, the wider transport sector, and members of the public with the opportunity to engage with representatives of the main political parties in Scotland. A representative from each of the five main political parties in Scotland will outline their party\u2019s vision for sustainable transport should they be elected and then allow attendees the opportunity to ask questions on key transport issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re delighted to be working with Alastair Dalton, Transport Correspondent for The Scotsman\/Scotland on Sunday, who will be chairing the events. We\u2019ll also be joined by experts from within Transform\u2019s membership who will be available to join in the discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The events are open to the public and will be held on Zoom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Graham outlined his party\u2019s vision for sustainable transport in the next Parliament, before taking questions from delegates on the call and from social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
