SESTRAN is an independent organisation that is tasked with improving local transport in the South East of Scotland. It is governed by a joint board, where around two-thirds of members are local councillors from affiliated councils, with the remainder made up of business and industry professionals. It was first tasked with producing a regional development strategy and delivery plan to set out what projects would be delivered, such as improving park and ride sites and real-time information displays on Edinburgh's bus network.[3][4]
