The SDA believe that an efficient, integrated, modern transportation network is key to the economic success of any country and especially vital to Scotland's future prospects as it seeks to make its way in the 21st century.
For decades, an inexcusable lack of investment by successive UK governments combined with the application of punitive taxes on fuel, have resulted in exceedingly poor economic performance and the disappearance of many of our industries which relied on the distribution of its goods and services to compete on the world stage.
The SDA will ensure that every aspect of transportation be it road, rail, sea or air will receive the necessary investment it requires to meet the needs and aspirations of a growing and thriving economy for, without such investment, no such progress can be made.
A key component will be the establishment of a nationwide fibre optic based telecommunications network linking all of our communities - large and small.
The SDA propose, along with changes in taxation, a thorough shake up of a moribund system, to make Scotland's infrastructure the envy of the modern world. Radical changes of ownership of key components of the infrastucture will allow Scotland's government to achieve a level of integration of all networks to ensure seamless movement of peoples, goods and services, throughout our land. |
