Aberdeen City Council
Active Travel at Spectra 2024
Aberdeen City Council embedded sustainable transport into its flagship cultural event, Spectra, reaching new audiences through creative, accessible activities. The “Hidden Butterfly Trail” encouraged families to explore the city centre on foot, while businesses joined in with displays and promotions. A cycling-powered light installation on a closed city street highlighted the energy of active travel. Over 100 competition entries and strong local engagement prompted a repeat event later in the year. This initiative successfully used public art to demonstrate how city spaces can support walking, wheeling and cycling, delivering long-term behavioural impact.

Agilysis
Safe System Cultural Maturity Programme
Agilysis developed the world’s first national Safe System Culture Framework with Transport Scotland to transform how Scotland delivers road safety. With input from 40 international case studies, a new playbook, training modules, and e-learning resources were created to upskill professionals and decision-makers across all levels. Over 570 participants have already engaged, including senior leaders and elected officials. Scotland is now a model for data-driven, systems-based safety reform—securing record funding and influencing UK-wide adoption. This ground-breaking cultural change programme is reshaping transport safety through innovation, partnership and education.

BEAR Scotland
A985 Kincardine Bridge Temporary Viaduct
BEAR Scotland’s replacement of the 1936 Kincardine Bridge southern viaduct combined engineering innovation with traffic continuity. Rather than full closure, BEAR designed and built a seven-span temporary bridge—complete with foundations and tie-ins—allowing traffic to flow throughout the two-year rebuild. This innovative approach minimised disruption for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians on this key cross-Forth trunk route. The solution ensured safety, protected economic links, and showcased creative civil engineering in heritage-sensitive environments.

City of Edinburgh Council
Accessibility Commission
Edinburgh’s Accessibility Commission, launched in 2024, is Scotland’s first independent body dedicated to accessible public realm design. With 20 member organisations, the Commission holds the Council to account on design, communication, and engagement standards for disabled people. It aims to embed accessibility in city development using strategic planning, KPIs, and best practice. Already influencing policy and projects, it’s a replicable model for inclusive, participatory governance and signals a transformative step in urban equality and innovation

Collaborative Mobility UK
Pop-Up Mobility Hubs
CoMoUK’s Pop-Up Hubs reimagine kerbside space with mobile parklets that promote walking, cycling and public transport. Each modular hub includes seating, cycle parking, a repair kit, and QR codes linking to local travel resources. Trialled in cities like Glasgow and Inverness, they’ve boosted active travel and tested demand for permanent mobility hubs. Over 500 journeys and 450 event attendees have been recorded, with residents showing strong support. These compact, mobile interventions demonstrate a low-cost, high-impact approach to rethinking urban streets.

Cyclehoop & Glasgow City Council
Trips Secure Cycle Parking
Cyclehoop’s ‘Trips’ initiative is the UK’s first network of secure destination bike parking. Installed across Glasgow city centre, these smart bikehangars repurpose parking spaces and offer high-level security via a dedicated app. Originally designed for ad-hoc journeys, commuter demand has prompted the addition of a subscription model. With over 1,100 users and 15,000+ km cycled, the scheme has saved an estimated 5.3 tonnes of CO₂. User feedback helped identify 11 new locations, to be installed in 2025. Trips offers a scalable model for urban bike security and modal shift.

Lothian Buses
Strut Safe Partnership
In a UK first, Lothian Buses partnered with Strut Safe to enhance late-night travel safety. The volunteer-run helpline offers phone support for people walking or commuting alone at night. Promoted via on-bus screens and student fairs, the service boosts passenger confidence, especially among women and vulnerable groups. It’s been widely praised, sparked interest from other operators, and expanded Strut Safe’s reach and volunteer pool. This simple but effective innovation strengthens public trust in transport safety and inclusivity.

SCOTS
ASOR Training Video for Elected Members
SCOTS created a simple yet transformative training video to help elected members understand the value of proactive road maintenance. Using the relatable MOT analogy, the video explains the importance of long-term investment and the role of the Annual Status and Options Report (ASOR). Since its launch, the video has been downloaded by councils across Scotland and is already influencing budget decisions. This innovation is not high-tech—but it is high-impact, addressing a critical communication gap with clarity and creativity

Zenobē
ScotZEB 2 Bus Electrification Consortium
WINNER
Zenobē’s leadership of the ScotZEB 2 consortium is delivering one of Scotland’s fastest zero-emission transport transformations. Backed by £41.7M of Transport Scotland funding, the project will support 250 new electric buses—growing Scotland’s fleet by 40%—along with rapid charging hubs for shared use by buses, coaches and HGVs. Zenobē’s tailored financing, infrastructure delivery, and collaboration with operators like Ember, McGills and NHS GGC will open 100 inter-city routes and avoid over 600,000 tonnes of CO₂. With private investment tripling government spend, and the first phase going live in under a year, this is innovation at speed and scale.
