Moray Council transport survey asks for views on travel needs and barriers
Moray Council has launched its latest Public Transport Needs and Travel Behaviour Survey which will run until 31 January 2027.
Forming part of the wider Moray Growth Deal funded Bus Revolution project, which places access to employment at the forefront, the survey gathers evidence about travel behaviours in and around Moray. It aims to understand why people travel, when they travel, and what barriers they may face which might impact access to education, healthcare and in particular, employment.
Previous public engagement has identified themes around the availability of rural transport in isolated areas, Sunday services and access for healthcare and employment reasons. The latest survey asks more about these issues to see where changes could lead to improvements.
Findings from the survey will directly support future transport planning and strategy work on the development of public transport services across Moray.
Moray Council wants to hear from anybody who travels in and around the region by any means, including those who do not currently use public transport. They’re particularly keen to learn more from young people, the elderly community, disabled people, those from rural communities who may experience rural isolation as well as job seekers and employers.
Councillor Marc Macrae, Chair of the Economic Development and Infrastructure Committee and Moray Growth Deal said: “This Survey helps us understand transport needs and the barriers from those who live in Moray and those who don’t but regularly travel in and out of the area. Reliable and accessible transport options are crucial for connecting communities with vital services. By completing the survey, you allow us to better understand barriers facing people each day and help shape future public transport links.”
The survey is live until 31 January 2027, with results expected to be published in early-Spring. To take part in the survey, visit the Moray Engage website.
