The City of Ryde continues to grow and change, and the way we move within our community must evolve alongside it. The Sustainable Transport Plan 2031 establishes a clear direction for delivering a more sustainable, connected, and efficient transport future.
Through our Net Zero Emissions Pathway, Council has committed to achieving Net Zero emissions for its operations by 2035, and for the wider community by 2040. With transport contributing approximately 23% of total CO₂ emissions across the city, transitioning to more sustainable transport options is essential to meeting these targets.
The Sustainable Transport Plan 2031 outlines how Council will support a shift toward more sustainable travel behaviours by prioritising and promoting efficient and sustainable transport modes and means of travel.
The Sustainable Transport Plan 2031 establishes a clear direction for delivering a more sustainable, connected, and efficient transport future, and will serve as Council’s primary resource for sustainable transport planning and advocacy. It replaces the current Sustainable Transport Strategy 2022 - 2032 and supports the outcomes of the Integrated Transport Strategy (ITS) 2045, alongside the Active Transport Plan, Public Transport Plan, Road Safety Plan and Parking Plans of Management.
The Plan will be implemented over the next five years.
