  • Building Better Transport
    Building Better Transport CEC02083844_0001 Building Better Transport Ministerial Foreword When I was appointed Tr ansport Minister last spring, Scotland's Transport: Delivering Improvements was not long published. That document identified key priorities for transport that have underpinned our work over the last year. It also promised that we would issue a report on progress. We have taken huge steps forward since then. The key to progress was our decision last year to allocate unprecedented sums to transport over the next three years. Spending on transport will rise by over 50% over three years, with almost £1 billion per annum being spent by 2006. Spending on public transport - which is now top of our priorities - will rise by over 70% in three years. That decision made an enormous impact. There is now money to fund major new infrastructure projects. The sense of momentum is building. People are beginning to believe. Transport improvements that once seemed a pipe dream stand a genuine chance of becoming reality. The new communications links that businesses have been crying out for are just around the corner, and the economy will thrive on them. Resources are not unlimited, but we can be certain that the transformation of Scotland's transport infrastructure will be well under way by the end of the decade. We have been criticised in the past for not committing the funds needed to enable major projects to proceed. That has now changed. All schemes will still have to continue to demonstrate value for money and stand up to rigorous economic and environmental scrutiny. But the security of a £1 billion per annum budget has enabled us over the year to make firm funding commitments, including the MS and M80 motorway upgrades in west central Scotland; the reinstatement of the Airdrie-Bathgate railway line; a new bypass, the Western Peripheral Route, for Aberdeen; and has allowed us to make further progress with rail links to Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
