The ways in which the north-east will benefit from a £3.2million boost for interconnected transport funding are to be highlighted with a series of public talks.
The European Union has selected the region as one of five across the continent to benefit from its Civitas Portis project, which is aimed at increasing transport links between rural and urban areas.
A consortium of partners led by Aberdeen City Council is overseeing how the funding is spent.
It also includes Aberdeenshire Council, Nestrans, the harbour board and representatives from both city universities.
A series of presentations exploring the future of transport and how it can be shaped by technology will begin on February 28, with speakers from each of the consortium partners taking part.
Others will be held on March 28, April 26 and May 30, with topics including the transport links being opened by the harbour expansion and the use of big data.
Lord Provost Barney Crockett said: “We encourage people to think about using alternative forms of transport such as walking or cycling, and we’re also working hard to look at existing and future transport infrastructure needs for the city and wider area.
”We need to continue to work hard and make new IT transportation systems meet the pace of change and work best for Aberdeen, its people and its port.
“I’d encourage anyone with an interest in sustainable transport and how technology is used for transportation infrastructure to come along to the events.”
