Draft Just Transition Plan for Transport
Overview
Between now and 2045, we need to transform how we travel in Scotland. Currently, transport accounts for the largest share of our greenhouse gas emissions. That needs to change, and the sector needs to decarbonise, in order for us to achieve net zero. We can and must cut emissions by changing how people, goods, and services, move around our country and beyond, but we aim to do so in a way that is fair and just.
Therefore, we are consulting on the first draft Just Transition Plan for Transport. The Plan identifies the key challenges and opportunities currently facing the transport sector. It highlights the important work that is already taking place, while setting out an approach and priorities for the future. Throughout this consultation we ask for views on these priorities, and the actions required to deliver them.

Why your views matter
"A Just Transition for Transport" means making sure that the costs and benefits of the transition – including the benefits of new economic opportunities – are shared fairly. It means making sure that, as our country transitions to net zero and adapts to a changing climate, no one is left behind. These are ambitious aims, and we know that achieving them will require careful strategic planning.
The Scottish Government understands how important it is for your views to be part of this planning – to ensuring that our country takes the right decisions, and that people support the approach we are taking.
For these reasons, we hope as many people as possible from all across Scotland are able to contribute their views to the consultation.
