Transport Focus’s Board will be meeting in public to discuss our work for passengers in Scotland and what is needed for a fairer, greener transport system.

This online meeting will look at putting users’ needs at the heart of all modes of transport, with a specific look at both young people and those in transport poverty and restoring overall confidence to travel.

We are pleased to confirm Michael Matheson MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Scottish Government, as the keynote speaker.
