The aim of the Greater Launceston Transport Vision is to ensure people are connected to their place of work, shops, schools, essential services and leisure activities.
Roads and highways will continue to dominate as the means of movement for most people and freight in Greater Launceston. The Vision will help facilitate an efficient use of road and land by:
- Reducing the need to travel and the length of journeys
- Making it safer and easier for people to access services
- Minimise the impact of transport on communities
- Improving freight flows and freight access to key terminals
- Providing efficient distribution of goods and services to business and the community
- Providing a choice of travel modes
A Work Plan has been developed showing the critical short-term initiatives and projects, and how current funding commitments align to the Vision.
