SWESTRANS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SWESTRANS (The South West of Scotland Transport Partnership) is a group set up by Transport Scotland to determine and deliver better transport solutions, both locally and nationally, and to act as a catalyst for regeneration of the region’s economy. There are six other similar groups covering the rest of Scotland, SWESTRANS covers the Dumfries & Galloway Council area.
Effectively a pressure group, SWESTRANS is officially labeled as a Voluntary regional transport partnership. It makes plans, through it's Regional Transport Strategy then lobbies the various government departments that are responsible for the Scottish Transport network.
Currently SWESTRANS is developing strategies for Road, Rail, Ferry, Bus, Cycling, Walking and Freight. The SWESTRANS area is a strategic part of Scotland, with access by road & rail to England, and access by ferry to Ireland.
