Corona Recovery Series: Revisited

Throughout June 2020, we published a ‘Corona Recovery’ series of four reports that focused in on central challenges that the transport sector was facing at this time. One year on and three further reports have been written, assessing what changes have been made in the Scottish transport sector in response to the pandemic so far, and whether these are in line with the recommendations given in the first set of reports. The aim of these reports is to ensure that the Corona Recovery leads us to a fairer, greener and more robust transport system.
