The South-East Scotland Transport Partnership (branded SEStran) is a statutory regional transport partnership in Scotland.
History
[edit]Sestran was created on 28th March 1998 To identify, develop, and implement mutually beneficial solutions to transportation-related issues across Nine Scottish council areas.[2]
One of the succus stories was the implementation of the "One-Ticket in 2001" [3]
On the 1st December 2005, SEStran was revised to match the new 7 Scottish government Regional Transport Partnerships[4]https://www.transport.gov.scot/our-approach/strategy/regional-transport-partnerships/ This resulted in Stirling council being moved into the new Tactran area.
Operating area
[edit]SEStran covers most of South East and Central Scotland, and includes the following Local Authorities:
Until 2005 the following were also part of the scheme.
Functions
[edit]SESTRAN is an independent organisation that is tasked with improving local transport in the South East of Scotland. It is governed by a joint board, where around two-thirds of members are local councillors from affiliated councils, with the remainder made up of business and industry professionals. It was first tasked with producing a regional development strategy and delivery plan to set out what projects would be delivered, such as improving park and ride sites and real-time information displays on Edinburgh's bus network.[7][8]
