Welcome to our web-site. By working together, sharing ideas and knowledge, all in our community can contribute to the
improvement of transport provision for Inverness, Nairn, and surrounding rural communities.
Geographically and historically transport has always been important to the Highlands, but in todays world of global business
and growing awareness of social issues, there has never been greater emphasis on transport provision.
This forum intends to address these issues and open dialogue with all relevant organisations and individuals who can contribute
to the betterment of our communities through improved transport.
It is intended that this site is used to inform interested parties on forthcoming events, issues of the day, transport
news and training events. We have included a message board to allow discussion on a variety of topics. See contact us.
