Community-led area transport plans have now started to be developed in Fife on an area-by-area basis.
The Glenrothes Area Transport Plan 2024-2034 was a pilot project and the first local area to benefit from a community-led area transport plan. This was approved by the local area committee in October 2024.
The Cowdenbeath Area Transport Plan 2025-2035 was approved by local area committee in December 2025.
The Area Transport Plans contain the themes of Active Travel, Public Transport and Traffic and Parking. They support a place-based approach across council services, working with partners.
The plans set out a framework for communities to see where their transport priorities have been developed into actions, to support fair and sustainable access for all in the short, medium and long term.
