ABOUT US
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is the Regional Transport Partnership for the
west of Scotland and is a partnership of twelve councils. SPT was established by the
Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, which created Scotland’s seven Regional Transport
Partnerships and is responsible for the development of the Regional Transport Strategy
(RTS).1 SPT is a statutory participant in Community Planning and a ‘key agency’ in the
Development Planning process.
SPT has a range of operational responsibilities including the management and operation of
the Subway, bus stations and bus infrastructure, supporting socially necessary bus services,
delivering schools transport on behalf of eleven of our partner councils and coordinating the
MyBus demand responsive transport service. SPT also acts as the secretariat for the
Strathclyde Concessionary Travel Scheme on behalf of our partner Councils and the
coordination of ticketing schemes including Subway smartcard and the ZoneCard multi
modal scheme.
Inverclyde Council (IC), in addition to wider responsibilities, is the local Roads Authority and
Planning Authority for Inverclyde. IC is responsible for the development of the Local
Transport Strategy and Local Development Plan2 and is lead partner in the development of
the Inverclyde Alliance Single Outcome Agreement3 and emerging Local Outcome
Improvement Plan. IC has a duty to manage and maintain local public roads, footways,
street lighting and traffic signals and the powers to improve infrastructure as necessary. IC
also has responsibility for road safety and flood risk management.
SPT, IC and partners work together to deliver a range of solutions to enhance and develop
our transport network, infrastructure and services; to promote sustainable development; to
mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change on the transport network and to promote
accessible travel choices. This includes investment in and delivery of public transport
infrastructure, active travel infrastructure, park and ride and strategic roads projects.

1. Foreword
This Transport Outcomes Report (TOR), produced annually by SPT in partnership with each
council in the west of Scotland, outlines the impact of transport improvements in each area to
achieve more sustainable, healthy, inclusive and resilient communities across the SPT area.
SPT continues to focus on achieving the four strategic outcomes from the Regional
Transport Strategy – Attractive, Seamless, Reliable Travel; Improved Connectivity; Access
for All; and Reduced Emissions – which underpin the successful delivery of key social,
economic, environmental and health outcomes at national, regional and local levels.
This TOR outlines SPT’s investments, projects and services for the past year and current
year. The TOR also sets out the role of transport in achieving improved outcomes for local
residents and business in Inverclyde, with the aim of supporting the achievement of the
Inverclyde Alliance’s long term vision of Getting it right for every Child, Citizen and
Community.
SPT will continue to work with Inverclyde Council and our other partners on the regeneration
of town centres in Inverclyde, improving accessibility for rural and vulnerable communities
and the development of the transport options as part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal.
In this respect, SPT will work with Inverclyde Council to promote the regeneration of
Greenock Town Centre, including improvements to the environment around Greenock
Central Station, the accessibility of Cathcart Square and West Blackhall Street and enhanced
connectivity between the waterfront, the town centre the proposed cruise ship facility at
Ocean Terminal. We will work together to deliver material change to the regional bus
market and public transport ticketing, and to strengthen the role of community transport to
help ensure all residents have access to safe, integrated, affordable and stable transport
services.
2. Working in partnership with Inverclyde
The 2017/18 Transport Outcomes Report follows the same structure as last year’s report,
with the principal sections based on the four strategic outcomes and the associated work
streams, which fall from the Regional Transport Strategy Delivery Plan 2014-2017.4 These
are set out in Figure 2.1 on the next page. This year’s report provides an update on the work
streams, whilst the 2014/15 TOR and the Delivery Plan provide additional background
information on the work streams. Services, projects, investments and initiatives that benefit

Inverclyde residents are detailed under each work stream within the main body of the report
(sections 6 – 9).
Figure 2.1: RTS Outcomes and SPT - Inverclyde 2017/18 work streams
3. Improving outcomes for Inverclyde residents
SPT is a statutory participant in Community Planning and works in partnership with
Inverclyde Council (IC) and other partners across a range of themes including health,
education, accessibility, social inclusion, equalities and community safety. Our four strategic
outcomes are closely linked to national community planning policy priorities including
independence for older people, improving the lives of young people, economic growth,
stronger communities, more employment and reducing health inequalities.
Transport has an important role in achieving the aims of the Inverclyde Alliance Single
Outcome Agreement (SOA) 2013 – 2017. Figure 3.1 shows the relationship between the

TOR work streams and the SOA local outcomes. More detail on the relationships is found in
the text below.
In support of local outcome 1 (as numbered in figure 3.1 below) - Good access to education,
healthcare and safe leisure opportunities is essential for every child to thrive and a safe,
high-quality walking and cycling network supports young children and their families to be
more active and live healthier lives. Sustainable development and land use patterns
supports families to reduce car usage and increase active travel, and improves road safety.
In support of local outcomes 2 and 3 - High-quality, modern transport infrastructure supports
physical regeneration efforts; an efficient, reliable transport network built upon sustainable
development and land use patterns reduces the cost of transport and congestion for
business and residents and supports environmental targets; and good transport access
improves employment opportunities and supports economic growth.
In support of local outcomes 4 and 5 - Good access to services supports residents in fully
realising the benefits of available healthcare, education and training opportunities.
Promoting active travel and investing in cycling infrastructure supports healthy, active
lifestyles. Sustainable travel choices reduce the negative impact that private cars have on the
environment.

6. Achieving ‘Attractive Seamless Reliable Travel’
6.1 Bus Policy
SPT, working together with Transport Scotland, local bus operators and other members of
the Bus Stakeholder Group, continues to progress its ’10 Point Plan’ of proposed changes to
legislation, regulations and powers to deliver a better offering for bus passengers and a more
active return for the considerable public sector investment in the bus market.
In 2016, SPT invited bus operators, local authorities and other partners to join a Strathclyde
Bus Alliance (SBA), a new partnership with the purpose of changing the long term trends in
bus patronage from a declining trend to year on year growth by 2020. The SBA is promoting
the establishment of powers to implement enhanced SQPs to deliver a more integrated bus
network with more reliable and attractive services to improve conditions for existing
passengers and attract more passengers.
In 2017/18, SPT will continue dialogue with bus operators, local authorities, Transport
Scotland and other partners to advance the SBA in preparation for the forthcoming Transport
Bill expected during the current Scottish Parliament.
6.2 Statutory Quality Partnerships & Bus Infrastructure
SPT service compliance inspectors identified 4 breaches of traffic regulations and made 3
reports to the Traffic Commission across 33 days of local service monitoring in Inverclyde
during 2016/17. These include instances of engine idling and illegal parking. Inspectors will
continue to undertake local monitoring throughout 2017/18. SPT bus station staff managed
25,000 departures at Buchanan Bus Station and 200,000 departures at Greenock Bus
Station for bus services operating within Inverclyde during 2016/17.
In 2016/17, SPT maintained 627 bus stops and 175 shelters in Inverclyde under agency
agreement and maintained 805 SPT-owned pole-mounted information cases in Inverclyde.
SPT delivered 8 new bus stops, 6 bus stop pole upgrades and 59 bus stop graphics
upgrades with £7,000 in SPT capital funds in 2016/17.
In 2016/17, IC delivered new bus stop build outs in Gourock and Greenock, new passenger
shelters in Gourock and extended bus bay at Eldon Park. SPT provided £48,000 in capital
funding for these projects.
In 2017/18, IC will seek to deliver further improvements to bus stops and shelters in support
of the Inverclyde Statutory Quality Partnership, complete works in Branchton to improve the
ATTRACTIVE SEAMLESS RELIABLE • IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY • ACCESS FOR ALL • REDUCED EMISSIONS

operation of low floor vehicles and complete feasibility and design for new bus layby and
shelters at Lunderston Bay. SPT is providing up to £114,000 in capital funding for these
projects this year.
6.3 Smart and Integrated Ticketing
SPT continues to promote ZoneCard integrated ticketing products and provides
administrative and secretarial support to the ZoneCard Forum. Inverclyde residents bought
an estimated 7,000 ZoneCards and made around 350,000 trips using a ZoneCard in 2016/17
– saving Inverclyde residents an estimated £230,000. SPT also improved access to
integrated ticketing by launching an improved online sales portal for ZoneCard ticket
renewals and multi-modal Daytripper ticket sales in 2016/17.
SPT continues to work towards the vision of one card multi-modal, multi-operator travel
across the region. In 2016/17, interoperable smartcard ticketing was delivered across
ScotRail and Subway services. SPT also launched online registration and ticket sales for
Subway smartcard passengers. Further, Nevis Technologies, SPT’s joint venture with
Rambus, provided back office systems for McGill’s Buses smartcard including online
registration and ticket sales.
