Kinross-Shire Committee 15 February 2024 KINROSS-SHIRE ACTIVE TRAVEL MASTERPLAN Senior Officers: Ben Wilson (Report No. 24/59) 1. BACKGROUND Perth & Kinross Council’s Regional Transport Partner (RTP), Tactran, has recently developed a Regional Active Travel Network. Tactran’s Regional Active Travel Network does not include any active travel routes within the Kinross-shire area. Local Councillors have been discussing this and suggest the Kinross-shire Committee consider using a proportionate of their budget to develop local strategic active travel plans. Following a developed proposal between Tactran, PKC, and Arup, summarised on page 2, it was agreed that Tactran would fund the entire Kinross-Shire Masterplan development (circa £28k), subject to Executive Committee and Transport Scotland approval, to address the committee's concerns. 2. PROPOSAL The proposal is to develop a fully funded Kinross-Shire Active Travel Masterplan, adopting a similar methodology to Tactran’s Regional Active Travel Masterplan, but through a local lens. This approach will involve engagement with key stakeholders and utilise Tactran and Arup’s Multi Assessment Criteria (MCA). This approach will allow for the interventions to be included in Tactran’s Regional Delivery Plan. 3. FINANCES £28,250 funded by Tactran, subject to approval from Tactran’s Executive Committee and Transport Scotland. 4. OUTCOME To develop a Kinross-Shire Active Travel Masterplan, that will be included in Tactran’s Regional Delivery Plan.
