The Minister was speaking as she launched the draft Transport Strategy 2035 consultation, which opens today and is live for 12 weeks.
Liz Kimmins said:
“Transport is not just about infrastructure but about the people who rely on it daily, and that is why the public’s input to shaping the future direction of travel really matters.
“Climate considerations, technological advances and changing lifestyles mean that we need to think differently about what transport will look like in the next 10 years and beyond. As our world continues to evolve and change, a modern, efficient, and sustainable transport system is essential for our future prosperity.
“The draft Transport Strategy 2035 is the beginning of a bold and necessary journey to ensure that our transportation system meets the demands of tomorrow, while reflecting the values and priorities of our community today.
“It sets out a comprehensive vision that is both actionable and adaptable; that addresses both urban and rural connectivity; creates a cleaner and greener foundation for growth; and recognises my commitment to improving regional balance.”
The strategic priorities underpinning the draft Strategy are that transport:
- Is Resilient and Sustainable
- Supports Connected and Inclusive Communities
- Is Safe and Healthy
- Supports Green Growth
