Nestrans, the Regional Transport Partnership for the North-east of Scotland is currently seeking a new member to join its Board.
The Nestrans board serves an important role setting the strategic direction and overseeing the delivery of transport improvements across the region.
The board brings together elected members from Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire councils, along with non-Councillor members to bring different backgrounds, perspectives to ensure our work supports and improves the economy, environment and quality of life across the area.
There is now a vacancy for a non-Councillor Board member and applications are invited from interested individuals with the necessary aptitude, experience and ability to help shape the future development of the transport strategy and delivery at regional level. Board members are required to attend approximately five meetings a year.
This appointment is an opportunity to join the board at an exciting time for transport in the North-east, with new funding programmes such as our People and Place active travel behaviour change programme, developing proposals for Aberdeen Rapid Transit, our work with NHS Grampian on Health and Transport, and business cases being progressed for infrastructure upgrades on key transport links.
Councillor Michael Hutchison, Chair of Nestrans said, “Being part of the Nestrans board is a great way to influence the future of transport in our region. Our work includes improving access to public transport and ensuring people can safely walk, wheel and cycle about, championing freight, and enhancing regional connectivity. It’s a chance to have your input into the key transport projects that help shape the North-east and the smaller interventions that will improve everyday journeys."
Closing date for applications is 5pm, Friday 19th September 2025. More information on the position and details on how to apply are available at www.nestrans.org.uk
