A plan setting out timelines, milestones and responsible organisations for delivering the actions in Cleaner Air for Scotland 2: towards a better place for everyone.
Data
| Priority | Actions | Delivery Organisation (Lead) | Delivery Organisation(s) (Support) | Short Term | Medium Term | Long Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air Quality Data | Scottish Government with support from SEPA will commission a review of air quality data collection and reporting in Scotland. The review will identify any notable gaps in data provision, with recommendations on how to fill these. The review will also provide recommendations on how current air quality data and methodologies can be more effectively integrated with other datasets, particularly those relating to transport, human health, environmental quality and spatial planning. | Scottish Government (EQCE) | SEPA | ● | ||
| Air Quality Data | Scottish Government with support from SEPA will commission research to explore the potential of utilising satellite data to complement air quality monitoring. | Scottish Government (EQCE) | SEPA | ● | ||
| Air Quality Data | Transport Scotland with support from SEPA will establish a comprehensive network of cutting-edge remote sensing air quality monitors on local and trunk roads in the early 2020s. | Transport Scotland | Scottish Government (EQCE)/ SEPA | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Scottish Government with support from Transport Scotland and SEPA will provide guidance to local authorities on how best to always commission traffic data collection in a way that supports local air quality objectives. | Scottish Government (EQCE) | Transport Scotland/SEPA | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Transport Scotland, SEPA and Scottish Government will work together to develop a central data storage for traffic data to support the development and use of SEPA's National Modelling Framework (NMF) (and UK AERIUS). | Transport Scotland | Scottish Government (EQCE)/ SEPA | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Transport Scotland with support from SEPA will develop an approach for standardised annual collection and storage of traffic data which can be used for multiple purposes, including air quality management. | Transport Scotland | Scottish Government (EQCE)/ SEPA | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Transport Scotland with support from SEPA will undertake a review of [road] transport data capture and associated gap with relevance to air quality. | Transport Scotland | Scottish Government (EQCE)/ SEPA | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Transport Scotland with support from SEPA will collect transport data within Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA's) and beyond to support air pollution mitigation planning, following the good practice established by SEPA's National Modelling Framework (NMF). | Transport Scotland | Scottish Government (EQCE)/ SEPA/ Transport Scotland | ● | ||
| Transport Data | Scottish Government will explore options for transport, air quality and health data-sharing between relevant public bodies. | Scottish Government (EQCE) | Transport Scotland/SEPA/ Health Protection Scotland | ● |
