5.2 | Identifying Transport Investments

NIFTI puts in place a framework for future transport investment that is consistent with the NPF and which enables the delivery of the NSOs. Potential challenges to realising the NSOs have been identified and the resulting NIFTI Investment Priorities have been developed to meet these challenges, both today and in the future.

NIFTI does not identify specific projects for investment. It is also beyond the scope of NIFTI to prioritise specific geographic areas or themes for investment. The identification of specific transport projects and potential investments is guided by the NTA’s Metropolitan Transport Strategies, TII’s National Roads 2040 Plan and the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies. However, the projects that emerge from these sectoral investment strategies will have to demonstrate their alignment with NIFTI to receive funding.
