Government announces new transport Foresight project

Fri 25 March 2005 View all news

A new project to be carried out under the Foresight initiiative is to examine what transport will look like in 50 years time. The DTI announced that the new project will examine - amongst other objectives - how the environmental impact of transport can be reduced.

The Intelligent Infrastructure Systems project, to be lead by Transport Minister David Jamieson, will also examine what effects transport will have on society in the future, how to balance minimising costs and maintaining competitiveness, and how future demands for transport will effect planning.

The project will bring together Government, industry, academia, research councils and professional bodies to inform long-term strategic planning.
