Lying at the heart of Scotland’s transport network, and covering the Angus, Dundee City, Perth & Kinross and Stirling Council areas, Tactran is the statutory Regional Transport Partnership with a duty to create a Regional Transport Strategy and oversee its delivery. The Partnership is also a statutory Community Planning and Development Planning agency and has a key role in supporting the development and implementation City Deals.

Following the recent adoption of the third Tayside and Central Scotland Regional Transport Strategy, the focus of work is on working with partners to deliver the strategies aspirations.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced and highly motivated professional to play a key role in developing and delivering our Regional Transport Strategy and contributing to our role in supporting Community Planning, Development Planning and regional economic programmes including relevant City Deals.
