Going Places: Integrated Transport Strategy
The strategy proposes a vision for transport in the future focused on active and sustainable transport modes. It considers important values for the future network and develops a set of principles. The strategy establishes a hierarchy that prioritises people and sustainable modes of transport over private and polluting vehicles.
For each principle there are key actions Council will undertake, decisions Council can influence, and key projects to progress.
The strategy focuses its efforts on:
- Creating a transport planning framework that integrates active and public transport in the land uses to support mode shift from single vehicle travel to active and sustainable transport
- Improving safety for all users, including working towards 40 km/h vehicle speeds throughout Inner West
- Revitalising our main streets to support sustainable travel and local businesses
- Implementing active travel improvements to support pedestrians and cyclists
- Advocating and supporting public transport infrastructure and service improvements
- Supporting shared transport and smart parking management
- Managing an efficient freight and goods delivery network freight access
- Harnessing technology to improve the network and environmental sustainability outcomes outcomes to help Council work toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero production by 2050
The strategy also poses some innovative thoughts for the future that will lead to much improved active and public transport networks for the future.
