This document sets out the ACT Government’s approach to achieving flexible, reliable and sustainable transport options for Canberrans. It provides a framework for planning and investment in transport for the next 20 years.

Key policy responses:

• Future transport in Canberra will feature more attractive, flexible travel options that increase choice, reduce carbon emissions and facilitate a compact, vibrant urban form.
• Public transport, cycling and walking are low emission forms of transport that make highly efficient use of space and support the activation of streets and places. Canberra’s future transport network will support a shift towards these modes.
• To tackle transport emissions, the ACT government will transition to a zero emissions public transport fleet by 2040 as part of the Transport Canberra Zero Emissions Transition Plan.
• Transport in Canberra's neighbourhoods and centres will focus on attractive walking and cycling environments, connections between centres will focus on more convenient public transport and cycling, and cross city and regional links will focus on maintaining safe and efficient car and freight travel.
