Travelling during COVID-19

Helping you to plan ahead and stay travel safe

We're in Phase 3 of the Scottish Government's route map through and out of the COVID-19 crisis. With roads set to become busier and reduced capacity on public transport due to physical distancing, it's more important than ever to stay up to date with travel advice. You can help keep Scotland moving by: 

Reducing the need to travel: Can you continue to work from home and stay local for shopping and services?

Planning ahead: Check your travel options in advance. 

Choosing active travel: Walk, wheel or cycle where possible.

Staying travel safe: Help ensure we have a safe public transport system, available to those most in need.

On 23 October the Scottish Government published information on  a new five level plan for local COVID-19 measures in Scotland. Read more on the Scottish Government website. 

In a statement to the Scottish Parliament on 7 October, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced an update on travel to and from the Central Belt. Read the guidance.
