Our contribution to The National Performance Framework

The focus of our Corporate Planning continues to be on how we will support, through our National Transport Strategy (NTS2), the transport focused National Outcomes within the National Performance Framework (NPF) and the Programme for Government (PfG).

The PfG is steered by the longer-term vision in the NPF, and its aim is to set out the actions required to deliver the outcomes within the NPF. The First Minister also published a new policy prospectus, setting out how the government will deliver for Scotland over the next three years.

Our National Transport Strategy has been mapped against the National Outcomes within the NPF, contributing to nine of these, as well as all 17 of the Key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We provide analysis on an annual basis to inform one specific National Indicator on Journeys by Active Travel. This reports on the proportion of short journeys less than 2 miles that are made by walking and the proportion of journeys under 5 miles made by cycling in Scotland.
