Introduction: Regional Transportation Strategy

The Regional Transportation Strategy (RTS) 2002-2012 was published in July 2002 and is a 'daughter document' of the RDS. Its purpose is to make a significant contribution towards achieving the longer-term vision for transportation contained in the RDS.

The purpose of the RTS is to improve access to regional, national and international markets, thereby contributing to sustainable patterns of development and movement, and promoting integration between different modes of travel.

The RTS identifies strategic transportation investment priorities. It considers potential funding sources and the affordability of planned initiatives over the period to 2012.
