Youth Transport Survey

Help us reach 16-24 year old people in Rural Scotland

We are reaching out to young Scots to find out how the cost of travel affects them in the their work, studies and personal lives.  Travel affects young people very differently in rural areas where public transport is often irregular, unreliable and expensive, compared to in urban areas where young people can often choose between different forms of public transport for the same journey.

Scottish Rural Action are asking people to take our survey to find out if these impacts are felt equally across Scotland’s rural areas, or if there are particular issues in different regions.  We will then tell Scottish Government what it needs to do to address the imbalance.

Take the survey now

It only takes a few minutes!
