In February 2010, representatives from several local groups met intending to establish Dundee Museum of Transport (DMofT).

[2] A committee was elected to advance the plans as quickly as possible, and on 2 June 2010 Dundee Museum of Transport was granted charitable status.

From inception, the original Trustees intended to acquire the Maryfield tram depot as the museum’s eventual home.

With the aid of a grant from Dundee City Council’s Common Good fund, the Maryfield site was purchased in 2015.

[5] The museum offers four halls of artefacts from buses and trams used on local routes, motorbikes, pushbikes and cars from throughout the centuries and models of different ships and trains.

There will also be a park and ride provided to other Dundee based visitor attractions to minimise the museums' carbon footprint.
