A93 Banchory to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Corridor Study

Overview

Aberdeen City Council is undertaking a Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) based appraisal of options for improving transport connections, in particular public transport and active travel (walking, wheeling and cycling) along the A93 corridor between Banchory and Aberdeen.

Please find below a map overview of the study corridor.

Key aims of the study are to identify options that:

• Increase the modal share of active travel on the A93 corridor for all journey types;
• Improve accessibility to active travel and public transport on the A93 corridor from nearby communities;
• Increase the modal share of public transport on the A93 corridor for all journey types;
• Support sustainable communities along the A93 corridor;
• Support the role of the A93 corridor as the gateway to Royal Deeside.

This study is part of a series of ongoing multi-modal corridor studies across Aberdeen, some funded through Transport Scotland's Bus Partnership Fund (BPF).

The other ongoing studies, which are at different stages in their development are:

• A90 Ellon Park and Ride to Garthdee Transport Corridor Study (funded through BPF).
• A944/A9119 Westhill to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Corridor Study (funded through BPF).
• A96 Inverurie to Aberdeen Multi-Modal Transport Study (funded through BPF).
• A92 Bridge of Don to Bridge of Dee Multi-Modal Corridor Study (funded through BPF)
• A92 Stonehaven to Aberdeen Transport Study (funded through Local Rail Development Fund).
• A947 Bucksburn Roundabout to Parkhill Junction Multi-Modal Corridor Study.
