FINANCE

1. Introduction

1.1 This chapter provides information on finance, such as expenditure on transport within Scottish Ministers' responsibility and on transport controlled by Local Authorities. It shows capital and current expenditure on motorways and trunk roads, Local Authority revenue and capital income and expenditure on roads and transport, government grants for the construction and improvement of harbour facilities, petrol and diesel prices and duties, and average weekly household expenditure on transport.

1.2 Almost all the figures in this chapter are expressed in what are referred to as current, out-turn or cash prices: no table gives constant price (i.e. deflated) figures.

Key points

• Scottish Government (including Transport Scotland) spent £1,878 million on transport in 2013/14. Local Authorities spent a further £900 million.
• Personal spend on transport and travel accounted for 15% of household spending between 2011 and 2013.
• In 2014 petrol prices rose to a peak of 131.1 pence per litre in July before falling back to 122.5 pence in November. Diesel prices fell steadily across 2014 to 127.2 pence by November.

2. Main Points

Motorways & Trunk Roads

2.1 The total of capital and current expenditure on motorways and trunk roads in 2013-14 was estimated at £542 million, in line with the 2012/13 figure, a big part of which is expenditure on the Forth Replacement Crossing. Total expenditure on transport within Scottish Ministers' responsibility in 2013-14 was budgeted at £1,878 million, £44 million (2.4%) more than in the previous year. (Table 10.1)

2.2 Expenditure on the management and maintenance of the trunk road network totalled £142.4m in 2012-13. The expenditure is split £12m on capitalised maintenance and £130.4m on routine and winter maintenance, network management and network strengthening. (These figures do not include spending on new construction). (Table 10.2)

Local Authorities

2.3 In 2012-13, net revenue expenditure on transport controlled by local authorities was £487 million. In cash terms, this was 2 per cent more than in 2011-12. Road maintenance (£271 million in 2012-13) accounted for 56% of the expenditure. The other main categories of expenditure in 2012-13 were:

• contributions to passenger transport (excluding concessionary fares) - £101 million;
• road lighting - £73 million;
• network and traffic management (excluding school crossing patrols) - £44 million

In 2012-13, the net income from parking charges was almost £29 million, £4 million more than 2011-12. (Table 10.1)

2.4 The Local Authorities with the highest net revenue expenditure on roads and transport (excluding loan charges) in 2011-12 were: Fife, (£36.9 million), South Lanarkshire (£36.8 million), Highland (£35.3 million) and Aberdeenshire (£29.9 million). (Table 10.3) The table also shows local authorities' figures for other types of expenditure in 2011/12:

Road maintenance/Winter maintenance Highland had the highest expenditure on road maintenance (£16.3 million), followed by South Lanarkshire (£16.2 million). Aberdeenshire and Highland spent the most on winter maintenance (£9.0 million and £6.5 million respectively). Contributions to Public Transport in terms of the total net revenue expenditure on 'local authority' and 'non LA' public transport, Shetland Islands (£12.1 million) made the largest contributions to passenger transport. Orkney spent £6.4 million. Road Lighting Glasgow spent most on road lighting (£10.6 million), followed by South Lanarkshire (£5.2 million). Parking Edinburgh had the largest net income from parking (£15.2 million) followed by Glasgow at £10.9 million.

Gross Capital Expenditure

2.5 Gross capital account expenditure by councils and boards on local authority roads and transport totalled £460.4 million in 2013-14, a decrease of 8.6 per cent on the previous year. Of this total £267.6 million was spent on roads and £105.6 million on other public transport. A relatively high proportion of this other public transport expenditure will be part of the Edinburgh tram project, however the spend in Edinburgh is down on the previous year due to the project being completed during 2013. (Table 10.4)

2.6 The local authorities with the highest gross capital account expenditure on roads and transport in 2013-14 were: City of Edinburgh (£79.7 million) and

Glasgow City (£43.2 million). Aberdeenshire spent the most on roads (£25.6 million) followed by City of Edinburgh (£20.6 million). (Table 10.5)

2.7 The National Concessionary Travel (NCT) bus scheme was introduced in April 2006 and is administered by Transport Scotland for Scotland as a whole. Previously local authorities administered their own schemes, therefore local expenditure on concessionary travel (and therefore overall totals of spend) shown in Table 10.3 will be greatly reduced from previous years, now only covering rail, subway, ferry and some taxi schemes. Further statistics on concessionary travel can be found in table 11.29.

Travel Costs

2.8 Between 2012 and 2013 the average price of unleaded petrol decreased by 1.3 pence, and diesel decreased by 1.4 pence per litre in Great Britain. In 2014, petrol prices fell 7.7 pence between January and November and diesel prices fell by 10.9 pence over the same period. Tax (duty plus VAT) represented 60% of the price for unleaded petrol and 58% of the price for diesel in Great Britain in 2013, compared with 76% for unleaded petrol and 74% for diesel in 2003. (Table 10.6)

2.9 The UK Retail Prices Index (RPI) rose by 38% between 2003 and 2013. Most of the Transport components of the RPI increased more rapidly than this, and therefore rose in real terms. In cash terms, the costs of the maintenance of motor vehicles increased by 59%, petrol and oil by 78% and there was a 88% rise in the cost of vehicle tax and insurance. However, the cost of purchasing a motor vehicle fell by 19% in cash terms over the last ten years. As a result, motoring expenditure index rose by 33%, less than the 38% increase in the RPI and therefore a real term fall between 2003 and 2013. Over the same period, fares and other travel costs rose by 59% in cash terms - rail fares by 64% and bus and coach fares by 63%, increases of 19% and 18% above general inflation. (Table 10.7)

2.10 Average weekly household expenditure in Scotland on transport and vehicles in 2011-13 was £65.80, representing 14.7% of total household expenditure. On average, £21.00 was spent on the purchase of vehicles, £32.30 on the operation of personal transport (including £23.20 on petrol, diesel and other motor oils) and £12.40 on transport services (such as bus and train fares). (Table 10.8)

1. Includes all costs related to the construction of Major Road Projects.
2. Includes all costs in relation to the reconstruction and overlay of road network. Figures for  2001/02 - 2007/08 have been moved to current expenditure to reflect changes in recording practices.
3. Includes all costs in relation to Roads and Bridges Network Strengthening and Minor Improvements that are not classed as Capitalised Maintenance. Figures for 2008-09 onwards have been amended to include money moved from capital to current expenditure to reflect changes to recording practices.
4. Figures are on a cash basis up to 2003-04 and on an accruals basis from 2004-05 onwards. Capital Funded from Current Revenue is included.
5. Includes Network & Traffic Management, Bridges and Parking
6. Includes Shipping, Transport Piers and Ferry Terminals
7. Includes subsidies for the Community Transport Association, piers, harbours, road safety, safer routes to schools and additional concessionary fares support to Local Authorities (prior to 2007).
8. The revenue account figures are reported on an accruals basis (i.e. reflected in the accounts of the period in which they take place).
9. Includes support for LA and non-LA transport undertakings, and revenue contributions to capital.
10. SG took responsibility for these areas in 2001-02.  In respect of rail services in Scotland from 2003/04 this figure includes grant paid to Strathclyde Passenger Transport for rail passenger services in the SPT area, and from 2006-07 it includes funding for Network Rail in Scotland (which was previously the responsibility of the Department for Transport). British Waterways renamed Scottish Canals following split.
11. Separate figures for each of these categories were not available prior to 2003 -04
12. The NCT schemes were introduced in April 2006. From April 2010 NCT electronic (Smartcards) required on-board Smartcard equipment.

1. Support service costs (e.g. administrative buildings and services such as legal, personnel, accountancy, IT and estates management), are included in the various service totals.  
2. The Scottish National Concessionary Travel bus scheme was introduced in April 2006 and administered by Transport Scotland, therefore local authority figures no longer cover bus travel but cover rail, subway, ferry  and some taxi schemes. Further statistics on concessionary travel can be found in table 11.29.
