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.

Re-Cycle: an exciting initiative providing free bicycles for commuters.

The Forum launched it's "Re-Cycle" initiative on the 12th of September.

The Inverness and Nairn Transport Forum were the lead partner in European Mobility week, Inverness being one of four Scottish cities participating this year. Wednesday 19th September was a "leave your car at home day", encouraging all to look at daily travel, and try something different for a day. There was a "greenspace" in the city centre as we closed Castle Road to traffic, laid turf, and created a place for people where normally there is only traffic.
