Sustainable Transport Plan Actions

The Sustainable Transport Plan for the ACT sets a new transport vision: for our city to have more transport choice and equitable access.

The vision

The Sustainable Transport Plan for the ACT aims to reduce the overall cost of the transport system while maintaining high levels of accessibility. Providing convenient alternatives to private cars will shift transport patterns towards more use of walking, cycling and public transport. This in turn will:

• reduce traffic congestion;
• provide health benefits such as reduced road accidents;
• provide environmental benefits such as reduced air pollution;
• provide the community with more transport options; and
• reduce the cost of building and maintaining transport infrastructure.
