Contents2National Transport Plan
ForewordForewordHow we move people and goods is central to our economy and our way of life.However, more than ever, we must make more efficient use of our transport system inthe light of increasing pressure on public finances; our responsibility for the environmentand the challenge of climate change.We already have a wide network of roads and railways in place – what we need todo now is make sure it is used efficiently so that people and businesses have a systemfit for their needs and which meets our national objectives. We recognised thatdifferent users have different needs, for example freight haulage, commuters, andpeople accessing health or education services. Therefore the proposals in this NationalTransport Plan seek to deliver an integrated system as possible.Such an integrated system demands that we improve sections of the road and railwaynetwork where we can make them safer, more reliable and where journey times canbe reduced. It also means that we will enhance provision for walking and cycling. Weintend to get more out of our transport infrastructure by integrating all modes to makethe system work better. This is a major challenge, but one I am determined to grasp.I would like to thank Richard Parry-Jones and the Ministerial Advisory Group for theiradvice on the transport network in Wales. I have incorporated the majority of theirrecommendations in the Plan. I would also like to thank other stakeholders who havecontributed their expertise during the development of the Plan.This plan sets out the detail of how we will deliver the Wales Transport Strategy OneWales: Connecting the Nation over the next five years. It is the first time that we haveset out an integrated plan for transport in Wales and I look forward to receiving yourcomments.Ieuan Wyn Jones AMDeputy First Minister andMinister for the Economy and TransportNational Transport Plan3
