LTP Vision and Objectives

New: Shaping the way to 2041

The Challenge:

These challenges can only be addressed, if we truly integrate strategic land use planning, infrastructure and transport planning

In the future, transport will be …

… integrated, demand responsive and innovative … ultra low emission … include new transport modes

To achieve this we need:

• integrated land use and

transport planning

• highly attractive cycle links
• transformative new public

transport infrastructure and interchange

• carbon neutral technologies,

e.g. electric vehicles
