A suite of action plans designed to support the delivery of the City Mobility Plan to 2030 (CMP) were approved for consultation by councillors in December and February.
Together, the Active Travel, Public Transport, Parking, Road Safety and Air Quality Action Plans aim to create cleaner, greener, safer, more accessible and affordable travel choices, while reinforcing the Capital’s Net Zero 2030 goals.
Each of the plans sits under the emerging Circulation Plan and its associated Streetspace Allocation Framework, which underpin the transition towards a less congested, more liveable, healthy and sustainable city.
Feedback is sought on all of the plans collectively, including via an online survey, public drop-ins, focus group and key stakeholder discussions and a toolkit to support community group involvement.
The consultation will run until 9 July and outcomes will be reported to the Transport and Environment Committee later this year, culminating in the finalisation of each plan.
Respondents to the survey can share their views on proposals and priorities in a range of areas, including making streets more accessible, improving public transport and active travel networks, as well as achieving ambitious road safety targets and creating people-friendly, thriving neighbourhoods and shopping streets.
CMP actions support Edinburgh’s Net Zero 2030 target and aim to help drive down the number of kilometres travelled by car in the city by 30% by 2030, reduce air pollution and improve public health.

1 June 2023 at 11:07 #14423Grange PlanningKeymasterAs part of the consultation outlined above, the Council is seeking views on five draft actions plans which aim to:
- make Edinburgh’s streets accessible for everyone
- improve public transport and active transport networks
- fully join-up the cycle network
- deliver a people-friendly city centre including vibrant shopping streets
- create safer, thriving neighbourhoods
- achieve ambitious road safety targets, including zero fatalities on our road network by 2030
- [reduce] harmful emissions across the city.
Each of these five action plans has been prepared to support the delivery of the approved City Mobility Plan (CMP):
1. Active Travel Action Plan
2. Public Transport Action Plan
3. Road Safety Action plan
4. Parking Action Plan
5. Air Quality Action Plan
In addition to those five action plans, the Council is also seeking views on an emerging Future Streets framework which outlines how it can make changes to the allocation of limited street space to improve our streets and provide a more welcoming environment for everyone. Progress on this work to date has been reported to the Transport and Environment Committee in stages most recently in February 2023.
You can find more detail on the five draft action plans and the emerging Future Streets framework here.
The Council is undertaking a range of activities to maximise opportunities for everyone to share their views on these plans. As part of this it is holding a series of public drop in events spread across the city. Some of the key areas it is keen to discuss include:
6. The challenges and difficult decisions required to deliver the CMP objectives with limited street space.
7. The key priorities across each of the five draft action plans – focussing on proposed actions which build on commitments already approved in the CMP
8. Any potential gaps across the five draft action plans.

Tuesday 30th May Leith Library 15:00-19:00
Wednesday 31st May Gilmerton Library 15:00-19:00
