Highland Council has today launched a public consultation for feedback on the Inverness Interchange feasibility study in partnership with HITRANS and Scotland’s Railway.
The feasibility study was commissioned to explore the creation of a strategic multi-modal transport interchange within the ‘Station Quarter’ area of Inverness. The proposal includes improvements to Inverness Bus Station, a replacement multi-storey car park and dedicated Active Travel Hub, alongside improvements to Inverness Rail Station.
Councillor Ian Brown, Leader of Inverness and Area, said: “This fantastic proposal aims to integrate bus, coach, rail, active travel, and car parking into a future-proofed, inclusive and sustainable transport interchange, which has the potential to have a transformative impact on the experience of not only those living and working in the city, but also the thousands of visitors travelling through Inverness and the Highlands every year.
“The next stage of the proposal is to engage with the public to share the findings of the study and present potential options for consideration. All feedback and suggestions received will inform the progress and direction of the project and we look forward to hearing from our communities.”
Chair of Highland Council’s Economy and Infrastructure Committee and HITRANS board member, Councillor Ken Gowans, said: “This proposal represents a major step forward in our vision to create a comprehensive transport and active travel hub which would be transformational for Inverness. I look forward to seeing this crucial project progress and working closely with partners to ensure the proposals will bring significant benefits for residents, visitors and communities throughout the Highlands.”
The consultation will run until 10 April 2026 and can be accessed here. A public drop-in event will also be held at Inverness Library on Wednesday 11 March 2026 from 11am to 6.30pm.
