Our Outcomes

Six outcomes for how Barbados moves

The outcomes are a synthesis of the national transport consultation evidence, aligned to the Barbados Physical Development Plan — mobility and accessibility, multimodal transport, public transport, active travel, resilient infrastructure, land-use integration, access to jobs and services, and place-based planning.

Outcome 1

Easier, more reliable everyday journeys

Aim. Make journeys more predictable by actively managing congestion, tackling recurring bottlenecks and getting more performance from the existing network.

Why. Congestion, school peaks, corridor pressure, junction and access conflicts, and unreliable everyday journeys.

3 national commitments

  • 1Tackle Barbados' most persistent congestion hotspots
  • 2Get more from the road network we already have
  • 3Establish a national corridor improvement programme
Open outcome 1

Outcome 2

Public transport that connects people to opportunity

Aim. A public transport system people can depend on, connecting communities to jobs, education, healthcare, services and each other.

Why. Reliability, PSV/ZR operation, school transport, accessibility and access to destinations.

4 national commitments

  • 4Improve the reliability and reach of public transport
  • 5Improve the passenger experience
  • 6Develop a more integrated public transport network
  • 7Build the case for the next generation of public transport investment
Open outcome 2

Outcome 3

Safer streets, roads and communities

Aim. Reduce deaths, serious injuries and everyday transport risk.

Why. Road behaviour, school movements, pedestrian conditions, crossings and busy-corridor risk.

3 national commitments

  • 8Put road danger reduction at the centre of transport investment
  • 9Make school journeys safer
  • 10Improve pedestrian safety and accessibility on priority routes
Open outcome 3

Outcome 4

More choice in how we move

Aim. Make walking, cycling, accessible travel and public transport practical parts of a connected system.

Why. Sidewalks, ramps, crossings, audible signals, active travel and the lack of realistic alternatives to car dependence.

3 national commitments

  • 11Create a connected national walking network
  • 12Expand the Barbados Trailway as part of the transport network
  • 13Make accessibility a standard part of transport delivery
Open outcome 4

Outcome 5

A more resilient and better-managed transport network

Aim. Better coordination, preparation and recovery — managing the network as one connected system.

Why. Utility conflicts, roadworks coordination, vulnerable infrastructure, flooding and disruption.

4 national commitments

  • 14Coordinate roadworks and utility works as one national programme
  • 15Identify and strengthen Barbados' most vulnerable transport links
  • 16Establish national transport coordination and operational management capability
  • 17Protect critical transport routes from flooding and climate-related disruption
Open outcome 5

Outcome 6

Transport that strengthens places and Barbados' economy

Aim. Use transport investment to strengthen communities and economic opportunity.

Why. Transport problems are also place and economic problems, affecting communities, schools, centres, tourism, development, the airport and the port.

3 national commitments

  • 18Develop integrated transport plans for Barbados' key centres
  • 19Connect new development to transport capacity and choice
  • 20Protect access to Barbados' strategic gateways and economic activity
