“Now is the time for bolder, more transformational action” say @lmacinnessnp & @KarenDoran3 in @Edinburgh_CC #mobilityplan launched today.

Great to see this new emphasis -- which was our main concern about the draft plans:

“We cannot spend another twenty years building a single tram line when we need to develop a truly integrated public transport network, including additional tram lines, in the next ten years.”
Correct.
Well said, @lmacinnessnp and @KarenDoran3.

Very pleased to see strong emphasis on demand management in #mobilityplan with clear commitment to implement #WorkplaceParkingLevy scheme.
It's great to see an @theSNP-led administration provide this leadership. It's overdue for @MathesonMichael to do likewise for @scotgov.

No doubt the usual suspects will come out with the habitual clichés about the 'hard-pressed motorist' being 'priced off the roads'.
This is all grossly misleading: the price of car use has become significantly cheaper over the past decade:

Demand management was 'strongly supported' in the consultation, with even a road pricing scheme drawing 56% support.
And, as #mobilityplan sets out, in the absence of action we can expect worse pollution, congestion and ill-health.
Time for bold, transformational action.
