Common Weal / InverYESs call for Inverness Park & Ride
24 February 2020
Common Weal / InverYESs is urging the introduction of a Park and Ride scheme for Inverness as an important and necessary practical response to the Climate Emergengy declared by Highland Council.
A quality PARK and RlDE scheme for the City of lnverness.
"We maintain that the above has become an essential part of a package of transport measures that needs to happen as soon as possible if our CLIMATE EMERGENCY is to be effectively tackled. The most desirable forms of transport both into and out of our city of lnverness must become buses and trains powered by renewables, and of course active travel. Transport 'experts' must now be found to design a quality scheme to operate daily over the period including and between the morning and evening commutes.
"Some aspects that must be considered are as follows...
Parking at PARK and RIDE car parks and bus travel should be free
Waiting time for a bus should not exceed 10 minutes
Access and passage for buses must now be prioritised before other motors, leading to increased provision of bus lanes
Car parking charges should be expanded and increased within the city (excepting for the disabled), including a workplace parking levy to help fund the PARK and RIDE scheme."
