COTA SA welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Transport Strategy Overview.

The Transport Strategy will outline the 30-year vision for our state's transport network, and will transform how people and goods move around the state. It will set the overall direction for future transport planning and guide decisions on which projects to prioritise and invest in.

COTA SA is committed to improving transport for older South Australians and participated in the Department for Infrastructure and Transport stakeholder discussions in October 2024.

This long-term strategic approach is driven by ten key drivers requiring action. In our submission, we have responded to the overview and highlighted the specific factors where we feel we can meaningfully contribute to decisions that could improve the quality of life for older South Australians.

We look forward to ongoing involvement to ensure that older South Australians’ needs are taken into consideration in the Transport Strategy Overview.
