GOALS

CHALLENGES

PRIORITIES

1. Healthy, safe, affordable and connected communities 2. A strong, diverse and growing economy 3. Thriving natural and built environments

1. Growing the role of public transport 2. Efficient connections to export/import gateways 3. Prioritising transport to encourage mixed-use development 4. Encouraging active travel modes 5. Fine-tuning maintaining and better utilising asset 6. Planning system to integrate transport and land use

The Process

Public transport for Greater Adelaide Road Network for Greater Adelaide Cycling and walking for Greater Adelaide Regional South Australia Freight and ports

Solutions for all of South Australia: Managing and maintaining the asset Safety Reducing environmental impacts Reducing car dependency

SOLUTIONS

17 priorities to address challenges

Complete the improvements to the north-south backbone train network (ie electrification)

AdeLINK tram network Redesign and modernise the bus network Potential underground train loop in the CBD Protect the extension of train lines in the

north and south in the longer term Relocate passenger rail terminal into Adelaide

station in the longer term

Public Transport

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au

Complete the North-South Corridor Upgrade the Inner Ring Route & Outer Ring

Route Duplicate Victor Harbor Road to McLaren Vale,

and in the longer term to Mount Compass Targeted intersection and road section upgrades

along major traffic and freight routes – including some road duplication

Actively manage the road network Implement Managed Motorways Protect freight routes Upgrade freight rail through Adelaide Hills and

into northern Adelaide

Adelaide’s Road and Rail Freight Network

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au

Extend the Bikedirect network, with focus on public transport hubs, activity centres and schools

Separate cycling and walking routes along arterial roads where possible

Complete the Greenways Program Expand cycling and walking catchments – e.g.

people-friendly streets Work with councils to maintain and create

walking and cycling networks Promote cycling and walking, and improve

driver awareness

Cycling and Walking

www.transportplan.sa.gov.au

35% of total ITLUP investment is in regional SA Seal the Strzelecki Track Duplicate the Dukes Highway to Victoria Targeted road widening, more overtaking lanes and

rest areas across the network Prepare regional passenger transport plans Support regional aviation Implement the Regional Mining & Infrastructure Plan Upgrade roads to expand High Productivity Vehicle

network Upgrade rail lines Improve connectivity to air and sea ports Deliver regulatory reforms (eg National Heavy Vehicle

Regulator) Provide freight hubs and intermodals

Regional SA/Freight/Ports

Manage and maintain our transport assets • Increased maintenance funding to improve and sustain the

performance of the transport network, make better use of our transport assets

Make our transport system safer and deliver South Australia’s Road Safety Strategy

• Invest in infrastructure, promote and encourage safe behaviour, improve licensing , apply new technology

Reduce environmental impacts • Design and procurement practices, vehicle emissions and impacts

Reduce car dependency • Encourage alternative modes
