Scottish Youth Parliament's Work on Transport

Lodged by Sarah Boyack Standard Motion 13 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges the efforts of the Scottish Youth Parliament’s Transport, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee to remove barriers to young people accessing public transport; agrees that public transport should be affordable, accessible and reliable for young people across Scotland; notes that particular action should be taken for young people in rural and island communities who currently benefit less from the under-22s free bus travel scheme due to limited bus services and infrastructure in their areas; recognises the benefits that affordable, accessible and reliable public transport have for young people’s access to social, educational, youth work and employment opportunities, and supports further action being taken to improve young people’s access to public transport.
