Edinburgh received six accolades last week at the annual Scottish Transport Awards in Glasgow.
The Council was recognised for the Roseburn to Union Canal project, picking up the Excellence in Transport Design award, alongside our work on tackling pavement parking with our contractor NSL, winning the Most Effective Road Safety, Traffic Management & Enforcement Project.
Lothian’s Country Service 43 took home the Best Bus Service award and their work alongside Police Scotland during Operation Crackle around Halloween and Bonfire Night won the Excellence in Social and Community Value gong.
The Royal Highland Show won the Contribution to Sustainable Transport award with their Traffic Management Working Group.
Finally, the Edinburgh & South East Scotland City Region Deal were recognised for their Workforce Mobility Project which won Best Practice in Transport Planning.
The Scottish Transport Awards have for over two decades, brought the transport community together to recognise and celebrate industry achievements across Scotland.
Transport and Environment Convener, Councillor Stephen Jenkinson said:
I was delighted to attend the awards last week. I’m really proud of all the projects in our city which were recognised by experts from across the country. These represent a good mix of initiatives from both the Council and our fantastic partner organisations.
From active travel to public transport, parking enforcement to event planning and beyond – these awards are testament to the hard work which goes every day into making Edinburgh a better place to be for everyone.
