Transport priorities include maintaining and expanding strategic road corridors, modernising key airports and aviation support assets, improving port access, terminal efficiency and last-mile logistics, and targeted rail or BRT investment where it can unlock freight and urban mobility gains.

Investment Focus

Investment is concentrated around highways, logistics corridors, urban mobility and multimodal freight connections; freight efficiency, resilient transport and urban infrastructure renewal.
