City of Cities - A Plan for Sydney's Future

Metropolitan Strategy (Transport)

City of Cities - A Plan for Sydney's Future Transport involves the movement of both people and freight. Sydney's transport system supports the economic growth of the city by getting people to jobs and services and other daily activities in a fast, safe and reliable way, and through efficient freight movements. The system must encourage travel choices while reducing impact on the environment.

Sydney's transport system includes the public transport networks of rail (heavy and light rail), transitways and bus services, ferries and taxis; the road network; and walking and cycling networks.

Transport is a critical element of the Metropolitan Strategy. Land use and transport planning should enhance access and connections between where people live, work and visit. As Sydney grows, Sydneysiders need to be supported by appropriate transport.
