The GoSmart challenge in Dumfries & Galloway
GoSMART Dumfries
GoSMART Dumfries is the campaign
created by Dumfries and Galloway Council
and South West of Scotland Transport
Partnership (SWestrans) to encourage both
residents and visitors to Dumfries to reduce
their car use in favour of more sustainable
modes of travel.
The initiative is one of seven ‘sustainable
travel demonstration communities’ projects
across Scotland that showcases Smarter
Choices, Smarter Places (SCSP) in action.
Aims of GoSMART Dumfries
The project aims for at least a 5% reduction
in car trips, with at least half of these
journeys switched to walking and cycling.
The aim is to go beyond the ‘cycle for leisure'
culture and make cycling a means of travel
for everyday life.
Increased levels of walking, cycling and
public transport use will contribute to health
improvement, social inclusion and economic
prosperity.

sQuid is a new kind of cash - smart cash
It can be used for those everyday items such as your morning coffee, your favourite magazine and your lunchtime sandwich - in fact any purchase with a low transaction value. It makes paying for things extremely easy and convenient and saves you from fiddling about with coins, helping you to keep an eye on your money and where it’s going.
It is impossible to get into debt with sQuid. You can only spend what you have pre-loaded on to your card. There is no risk of spending money that you don’t have.
Apart from the name, there is nothing fishy about sQuid. We are fully regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which means that our customers’ money is tightly controlled.
Each card reader is protected by a unique security application module (SAM) that creates a trusted transaction environment from encrypted readers.
sQuid uses sophisticated fraud prevention and detection processes and conforms to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulatory requirements.
