City Mobility Plan

Closed 7 May 2020

Opened 31 Jan 2020

Overview

Across the world, progressive cities are embracing the global challenges of climate change and inequality with action and vision.

To meet our ambition to be carbon neutral, we need re-think the way we move people and goods in and around Edinburgh. We need clean, safe, efficient, accessible and affordable ways of doing this.

We have made significant progress in the last ten years, however more of the same is not an option. Now is the time for bolder, more transformational action.

Our ‘City Mobility Plan – draft for consultation’ is a ten-year strategy that sets out proposals to transform the way people, goods and services travel around the city.

The SEA Draft Environmental Report for the City Mobility Plan is available at the link below or can be inspected at Planning and Building Standards reception at Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG.

Comments on the SEA may be submitted by emailing spatial.policy@edinburgh.gov.uk or in writing to Spatial Policy, The City of Edinburgh Council, G.3 Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG

Why your views matter

Completing this survey will help us to understand your views on the transport and mobility proposals.

As well as the online survey, there is a series of drop-in events planned across the city that you would be very welcome to attend if you wish to find out more about the proposals within the draft City Mobility Plan.

What happens next

Your response is greatly appreciated, thank you. Following the conclusion of all consultation activities running across the city until the spring, a report on the findings will be submitted alongside the finalised ‘City Mobility Plan’ to the Council’s Transport and Environment Committee by autumn 2020.
