Views sought on a new transport plan setting the framework transport policy and investment decisions up until 2035.

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) is currently seeking views on the preparation of a new transport plan which will set the framework for making transport policy and investment decisions up until 2035. The Eastern Transport Plan (ETP) 2035, previously known as the Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan (BMTP), covers five council areas:

  • Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council
  • Ards and North Down Borough Council
  • Belfast City Council
  • Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council
  • Mid and East Antrim Borough Council

ETP 2035 aims to ensure that the transport network meets the needs of the people and businesses living, working and visiting the ETP area, both now and into the future.

At this early stage of ETP 2035 development, DfI wants to understand your views on:

  • the problems which need to be solve (challenges)
  • the end goal to be achieved (vision)
  • how to get there (objectives)

The survey will remain open until 5pm on Monday 30 October 2023.
