Main Findings - Strategic Transport Infrastructure Needs to 2030

24-Nov-2011

This report looks at whether international gateway ports and airports and their inland transport connections are adequate to meet future demand and proposes a set of policy options to enhance their contribution to economic and social development. Most of the gateway and corridor infrastructure currently in place could not handle a 50% increase, let alone a doubling or tripling of passengers and freight in 20 years. Many gateways need greater capacity to meet the projected increasing demand from 2010 to 2030. Greater inland transport capacity is needed to match additional gateway capacity.
