Northern Ireland Department for Infrastructure begins North West Transport 2035 consultation

Working with Derry City and Strabane District Council, the organisation will draft proposals for the future of low carbon travel in the region.

With the ultimate goal of meeting climate commitments, a major new consultation process has begun to decide the future of travel and mobility infrastructure in North West Northern Ireland. 

Active travel – cycling, wheeling and walking – will play a significant part in plans, alongside improvements to public transportation, the local road network and parking. The Department for Infrastructure is now looking for public help in developing and shaping its Vision and Objectives for the plans by identifying current concerns relating to local transportation. 

‘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,’ said Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd.

‘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,’ he continued. ‘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 consultation can be completed online until 5th November 2024. A series of drop-in sessions will be held in the Strabane district next month, with details set to be posted on the project web page
