That the Parliament congratulates Transition Black Isle on the success of its Million Miles project; understands that the initiative's aim was to cut car use on the Black Isle by 1 million miles per year by encouraging increased usage of cycling, public transport and lift sharing; further understands that Transition Black Isle achieved what it considers this phenomenal target through the active participation of local people, including 471 events organised as part of the Million Miles project, which was attended by 5,369 people; believes that Transition Black Isle serves as a wonderful example to other community groups, encouraging a more sustainable travel model, and looks forward to its continued good work on the Black Isle.
