We are the South East of Scotland Regional Transport Partnership.

Our region is made up of City of Edinburgh, Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Falkirk, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.

Transport to health

As part of the process to develop the transport to healthcare strategy, we need to understand the views, opinions and experiences of people across our region.

We will use the information you provide to help shape the development of the transport to healthcare strategy in our region.

The consultation will be open until 16 November 2025.
