1. National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory.
2. Evidence presented by Professor Alan McKinnon, Logistics Research Centre, Heriot-Watt University, to Scottish Freight Strategy seminar 2005.
3. The estimated costs include loss of output due to injury, medical/ambulance costs, police costs, insurance and administration and damage to vehicles and property. The costs also include an amount to reflect the pain, grief and suffering of the casualty, relatives and friends.
4. Probably reflecting sampling variability due to small number of cyclists in the survey.
5. Recent major studies of the external costs of transport in European countries have indicated that they are significant, representing approximately 6-8% of total GDP (these estimates do not include congestion). Road transport accounts for the highest contribution to these costs, dominating all other modes.

7. The SPR will consider our next long-term investment plan: the investment plan for transport that we have already set out, which runs to approximately 2012, will not be affected by it. The NTS will set the context for the SPR.

15. There are four SSCs with a major interest in transport: GoSkills (the passenger transport SSC); Skills for Logistics (the freight SSC); SEMTA (the SSC for Science Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies sectors); and CITB-ConstructionSkills (the SSC for the Construction Industry).

19. Figures taken from Scottish Transport Statistics, Table M2(a) - there is an element of "double-counting' in these figures, as freight which is carried by, say, different vehicles for different stages of its journey will be counted more than once.
