The XX Commonwealth Games will be held from 23. July to 3rd August 2014. There will be 17 sports taking place across 14 venues in and around Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carnoustie. Approximately 6,500 athletes and officials from 71 competing nations and territories will take part in the Games. With up to 1 million spectator tickets available, the Games are an exciting opportunity for Glasgow. The provision of safe, secure, reliable and accessible transport will be key in ensuring athletes, Games Family and spectators get to their events on time and that the people and businesses of Glasgow can keep moving. This paper provides a brief overview of the transport plans for the Games before focusing in more detail on the Travel Demand Management (TDM) Programme for the Games and how the legacy of this has the potential to benefit Glasgow in future years.
