Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that all public services work with maximum efficiency and effectiveness. This includes sharing resources, knowledge and examples of good business practice across organisations.
HITRANS is continuing to develop working arrangements between our five Councils to encourage sharing of resources and expertise. In addition, there may be opportunities for HITRANS to support local authorities to deliver particular projects where they may not have the capacity or resources to do so.
