Eastern Transport Plan Engagement Survey

Overview

The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) is currently preparing 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 and will also support the preparation of the Local Policy Plans for these councils:

• 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. More information on ETP 2035 can be found on the project website here.

At this early stage of ETP 2035 development, we want to understand your views on:

• The problems we need to solve (challenges)
• The end goal we want to achieve (our vision)
• How we will get there (our objectives)

Please note that for individual responses, postcode data will be gathered as part of the survey. Postcode data will only be held for a maximum of 6 weeks after the survey closes and will be deleted at this stage following aggregation in line with the Data Protection impact Assessment (DPIA).

Why your views matter

Your feedback is important so that we can use it to inform the development of the ETP. Following receipt of your feedback, the draft vision and objectives may be refined as we continue to develop ETP 2035.

You can provide your views here between 4th September and 30th October 2023 closing at 17:00.
