Question
To ask the Scottish Government what improvements to transport infrastructure are planned for the Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley constituency.
Answer
Future transport investment by the Scottish Government, will be set out in the second Strategic Transport Projects Review.
In February, we published of the Case for Change report for Ayrshire and Arran, which included transport options being appraised as part of the Review. Under consideration are options for active travel; bus priority; getting more freight onto rail; improving the safety and resilience of the transport network and the decarbonisation of the transport system.
We intend to publish the STPR2 recommendations in the new year, however, until then I am not able to share further details.
