DfI To Start Drafting Proposals For North West Transport Plan 2035

Construction News Image
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) is working with Derry City and Strabane District Council and other North West region partners to draft proposals for the North West Transport Plan 2035.

This Transport Plan will address local transport issues such as active travel, public transport, the road network and parking. The DfI is at the start of the process and invites you to contribute by shaping the Vision and Objectives and highlighting local transport concerns. The goal is to create a plan that improves daily journeys in the North West, making the area a better place to live, work and study, while also reducing emissions and improving air quality.

Infrastructure Minister, John O'Dowd said: "The future of transport really matters because the transport system, and how we travel, influences every aspect of our daily lives. We need to strike the right balance between car use and creating the right conditions for more use of public transport and active travel. I am committed to tackling regional imbalance and want to hear from as many people as possible to understand local challenges and priorities, to ensure that the new Transport Plan maximises potential in the North West. Getting infrastructure right, and investing in it accordingly, can create the foundations for better rural and urban communities and unlock a more prosperous, productive and healthier society."

The questionnaire, which is available online until 5 November 2024 at the following link seeks opinions on current transport challenges and opportunities to improve the sustainability of the local transport system by encouraging people to choose more sustainable travel options. Several public drop-in sessions will be held in the Council district in late September.
