Overview

The Department of Infrastructure seeks feedback on the vision, principles and aims that will underpin the new Transport Strategy for the Isle of Man.

The core objective is to create an integrated and socially inclusive Strategy which meets the needs of communities, keeps people connected in work, leisure and access to services, and supports our transition to net zero. Our vision is for a transport system which supports economic and population growth, improving safety and accessibility whilst simultaneously decarbonising transport and minimising environmental impacts. This will be achieved through a combination of behaviour change initiatives, adjustments to current services, and improved infrastructure to reduce the need to use cars for short trips, both for the Island’s population and visitors. The Strategy will be complimentary to and integrated with other Island policies.

Why your views matter

People are invited to provide feedback on the proposed vision, principles and aims of the Transport Strategy to assist in the process of strategy development and implementation.
