During this time HITRANS has worked with Government, its five Member Councils and a wide range of stakeholders at local, regional and national level to deliver improvements in transport services and infrastructure across the Highlands and Islands as identified in the Highlands and Islands Transport Strategy. While a number of our Council Board Members indicated during the year their intention not to return to the Board following the May 2012 Local Government Elections, this in no way diminished their individual or collective commitment to the work of the Partnership and its aim of promoting strong sustainable economic growth across the Highlands and Islands. Recognising that change was coming, the Board took the opportunity to both look back at what had been achieved over the last five years and forward up to 2030 to what can and must be accomplished, to ensure that the Highlands and Islands play an appropriate role in delivering economic prosperity for future generations.
