The Commonwealth has provided $2 million to the South Australian Government to undertake an Integrated Transport and Movement study in Adelaide to help the city develop an aligned transport plan.

Federal Transport Minister, Anthony Albanese, said the funding would help Adelaide secure its reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities.

“This study will help with future planning decisions as South Australia looks to further revitalise its road, rail, tram, and bus networks and closer integrate them with urban growth areas,” Mr Albanese said.

State Transport and Infrastructure Minister Tom Koutsantonis said the study will formalise existing transport and infrastructure plans within The 30 Year Plan for Greater Adelaide.

“We’ve just delivered a decade of unprecedented investment in transport so now we want to discuss with South Australians how we capitalise and drive further investment,” he said.

“An Integrated Transport and Movement study will draw together data from a host of existing strategies and focus on transport not only in and around Adelaide but also across SA.”

Key industry groups will provide initial input into the study and the general public will then be invited to comment on a draft response.
