Scotland's Forth Estuary Transport Authority has outlined new plans to ease congestion and delays on the Forth Road Bridge. FETA's first local transport strategy sets out objectives for the next 15 years. The strategy recognises the need to plan ahead for a new multi-modal crossing to address the increasing maintenance costs of the existing bridge and to cater for future growth in public transport. Initiatives outlined in the strategy include reducing traffic congestion through measures such as car-sharing, increasing the use of public transport, and providing funding to ensure delivery of a new road link.
