Trossachs Explorer Evaluation Report
The Trossachs Explorer shuttle bus pilot was evaluated to assess its impact on promoting sustainable transport within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park area. The pilot aimed to understand appetite for future services, reduce reliance on private vehicles, increase accessibility for all, and enhance the visitor experience while supporting environmental, community and social goals.
Research findings highlighted significant successes, including improved access to remote areas, support for local communities and businesses, and alignment with sustainability objectives. However, operational and marketing challenges were identified, necessitating refinements to optimise the service for future iterations.
A robust research design was employed by the University of Strathclyde to independently evaluate the Trossachs Explorer. The findings from that research can be found in this report, which is downloadable at the bottom of this page.
