  • Wodonga Integrated Transport Strategy 2015
    Wodonga Integrated Transport Strategy 2015 OUR PEOPLE OUR CITY OUR FUTURE Executive Summary The Wodonga Integrated Transport Strategy (WITS) has been prepared to guide future investment in the transport network in Wodonga, in order to improve the city as a place to live, work and invest. WITS also addresses Council’s obligations as an Interface Body under the Transport Integration Act 2010. WITS responds to the growth forecasts for Wodonga and the increasing strategic role that the City will play in the Hume region. It proposes a suite of changes to the transport system to ensure that it focuses on ensuring that the transport system provides genuine choice for residents, enabling people to access a full range of employment, services and recreational opportunities without needing to own a car. In Wodonga, private vehicles are the dominant form of travel, even for short trips. Given that Wodonga is a regional city, it is likely that private vehicles will remain the key form of transport in the foreseeable future. However, a number of characteristics of the car dominated transport network need to be addressed so that the transport network promotes a vibrant, inclusive society, where other modes of transport are attractive, safe and practical. The rationale for the WITS has been mapped as an ‘Investment Logic Map’ and is shown below. Wodonga Integrated Transport Strategy Logic Map Scope WITS provides recommendations for all transport modes and networks in the municipality, with a particular focus on Wodonga itself. WITS takes a two-tiered approach to providing an inclusive and integrated transport network: 12/02/14 13M1465000 • Principles and methodology for network improvements, and the rationale for the overall transport networks, detailed in Section 5 of this report.
