Tactran draft RTS Delivery Plan
Introduction Tactran’s Regional Transport Strategy 2015-2036 Refresh was formally approved by the Minister for Transport and Islands in July 2015. It is the first refresh of the Regional Transport Strategy 2008- 2023 (RTS) and the core aims and objectives of the RTS 2008-2023 remain consistent and relevant. The direction of the RTS has not been changed, though the Refresh extends the horizon to 2036 to align with the second TAYplan Strategic Development Plan and updates our policies and proposals which are aimed at supporting regional economic prosperity; connecting communities and being socially inclusive; and promoting environmental sustainability and improved health and wellbeing.
An RTS Delivery Plan was approved by the Partnership in June 2009 and has been regularly updated to reflect regional and local priorities in the intervening period. However, following Ministerial approval of the Refresh in July 2015 a comprehensive review of contributing actions and projects being delivered by Tactran and all our partners and stakeholders within the region has been undertaken.
This draft RTS Delivery Plan to date has been developed though a comprehensive review of all relevant partner and stakeholder contributing national, regional and local delivery and action plans that have been developed since the original RTS was approved in 2008, as well as consultation with our constituent Council officers. Appendix A contains a list of all contributing delivery and action plans reviewed.
Tactran now wishes to consult with all partners and stakeholders on this draft Delivery Plan to ensure all contributory actions and projects are appropriately captured.
Purpose The RTS Refresh and this associated draft Delivery Plan constitute a balanced and integrated strategy and package of policies, proposals and supporting actions and interventions which support Tactran’s Vision, Objectives and strategic themes.
The aim of this draft RTS Delivery Plan is to set out the interventions which support the fulfilment of the RTS Vision and Objectives. The Delivery Plan is not intended to be a fully costed programme. It is a framework for determining associated Capital and Revenue programmes and priorities which may be implemented by the Partnership, its partner Councils, Scottish Government, Transport Scotland and other relevant delivery agencies.
It identifies a range of transportation infrastructure, systems and service enhancements which will support delivery of the RTS Refresh, Single Outcome Agreements, the National Transport Strategy and other relevant local, regional and national strategies.
The draft RTS Delivery Plan concentrates on projects that will be delivered or developed over the next 5 years and it is intended it will be updated at regular intervals.
Prioritisation and implementation of individual RTS interventions is subject to resource availability and appraisal against RTS objectives, including their contribution towards promoting sustainable economic growth locally, regionally and nationally.
Securing the Revenue and Capital finances necessary to support delivery of the RTS is an ongoing and significant challenge for the Partnership and its partners.
In accordance with legislative requirements a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and full Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) of the RTS 2015-2036 Refresh have been undertaken and are addressed in separate SEA and EqIA reports. Individual interventions included within this Delivery Plan will be assessed for environmental and equalities impacts by the appropriate project partner.

Structure of Document Chapter 5 of the RTS 2015-2036 Refresh sets out the detailed strategies and frameworks required to implement the RTS Refresh over the 21 years between 2015 and 2036. In addition Chapter 6 outlines Climate Change Duties and additional key priority mitigation areas where the Partnership has significant potential to contribute to or support reduction in transport carbon emissions.
The draft Delivery Plan is therefore structured around the RTS 2015 – 2036 Chapter 5 strategies and frameworks and Climate Change Duties outlined in Chapter 6 to ensure a clear connection between the RTS 2015-2036 Refresh and the draft Delivery Plan, as follows:
1. Strategic Connectivity 2. Health and Transport 3. Active Travel 4. Travel Planning 5. Buses 6. Park & Ride 7. Rail 8. Freight 9. Travel Information 10. Climate Change
Each section commences with the relevant policies and proposals included in Chapter 5 and 6 of RTS 2015-2036 Refresh required to implement the RTS Refresh over the 21 years between 2015 and 2036. This is followed by the draft RTS Delivery Plan interventions concentrating on actions and projects that will be delivered or developed over the next 5 years.
For each intervention the following information is provided:
Reference – unique reference number based on RTS Chapter 5 and 6 Policy/Proposal to which the intervention contributes
Project – project name/identity
Principal Objectives – the RTS overarching objectives and supporting sub-objectives the intervention supports.
Policy /Proposal – RTS Chapter 5 Policies/Proposals to which the intervention contributes towards achieving.
Description & Purpose – description and purpose of the intervention
Timing – identify timing of intervention to commence and/or be completed in next 5 years or completed in later years.
Partners – all partners involved in delivering the intervention. Lead partners in bold text.
Progress – description of progress to date.
Supporting Policy Documents – all partner and stakeholder delivery and action plan documents that support the particular intervention.
