Home | SEStran: The South East of Scotland Transport Partnership

We are the South East of Scotland Regional Transport Partnership.

Our region is made up of City of Edinburgh, Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Falkirk, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.

On Our Way! Our vision for the SEStran region

Our vision sets out the type of region we want the South-East of Scotland to be and how transport can contribute to achieving that for everyone. The vision also shapes the objectives in our Regional Transport Strategy by providing a high-level context and long-term focus. Take a look!

SEStran has developed a new Regional Transport Strategy (RTS) for the South East of Scotland, with consultancy support provided by Stantec UK Ltd.
