Workforce mobility pROJECT
The Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal is the first in Scotland to incorporate a Workforce Mobility Project that acknowledges the role transport plays in supporting employment, training and education. This project aims to work across sectors to improve data, communication and the effectiveness of local transport to support the ambitions of the IRES programme and the Regional Prosperity Framework.
Further information on the project vision, ambition, outcomes and data-based approach to inform decision making can be found in our Brochure.
