About Strathclyde Partnership For Transport
Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is the largest of Scotland’s seven Regional Transport Partnerships, serving a population of more than 2.2 million people across 12 local authority areas in the West of Scotland.
SPT’s role is to bring together local authorities and key regional and national partners to plan and deliver an integrated, sustainable transport system that supports inclusive economic growth, tackles inequality, and improves quality of life. At the heart of this is a clear ambition: to deliver a world-class, low-carbon transport system that meets the needs of people and communities now and in the future.
SPT sits at the centre of regional transport planning, combining strategic insight, robust analysis, and practical delivery. The organisation plans and supports transport across all modes, working closely with councils, Transport Scotland, the Scottish Government, operators, and communities to shape how transport services evolve over time.
Alongside its strategic planning role, SPT delivers and supports a wide range of transport activity across the region. This includes investment in bus services, infrastructure and subway, management of major transport programmes, and the delivery of passenger-focused improvements that help keep communities connected.
SPT is now entering a period of significant transformation. Completion of the Subway Modernisation project, major programmes such as Bus Reform and Clyde Metro represent some of the most ambitious transport initiatives ever undertaken in the West of Scotland.
Together, they will reshape how public transport is planned, governed, and delivered, placing passengers, communities and long-term sustainability at the heart of decision-making.
This is an organisation with a strong public service ethos, a collaborative culture and a growing national profile. For professionals who want to work at scale, influence long-term outcomes and help deliver meaningful change, SPT offers a uniquely compelling environment.
