What You Told Us

From what Barbados said to what we are doing

These themes come from the national transport consultation. Each one is traced to the outcomes and commitments it shaped. Not every suggestion becomes Government policy — where nothing has been agreed, the Plan says so.

Theme

Congestion

Here's what we heard

Everyday journeys take longer than they should, and the same places back up at the same times — especially around school runs and key junctions.

Here's where it appears in the Plan

Here's what we're doing

No intervention has yet been agreed. The commitments above set the direction; specific work will be published as it is confirmed.

    Theme

    Public transport

    Here's what we heard

    • Commitment 4: Improve the reliability and reach of public transport
    • Commitment 5: Improve the passenger experience

      Theme

      Walking & accessibility

      Here's what we heard

      Missing sidewalks, blocked footways, absent ramps, and crossings that do not work for older people, disabled people or children.

      • Outcome 3: Safer streets
      • Outcome 4: More choice
      • Commitment 10: Improve pedestrian safety and accessibility on priority routes

        Theme

        Safety

        Here's what we heard

        Speeding and road behaviour, dangerous corridors, and the risk felt by people walking, cycling and riding.

        Here's where it appears in the Plan

        • Outcome 3: Safer streets
        • Commitment 8: Put road danger reduction at the centre of transport investment

          Theme

          Roadworks & utilities

          Here's what we heard

          Roads dug up repeatedly, poor coordination between agencies and utilities, and little notice of disruption.

          Here's where it appears in the Plan

          • Outcome 5: Resilient network
          • Commitment 14: Coordinate roadworks and utility works as one national programme
          • Commitment 16: Establish national transport coordination and operational management capability

            Theme

            Schools

            Here's what we heard

            School start and finish times dominate local conditions, with unsafe walking routes and heavy drop-off pressure.

            Here's where it appears in the Plan

              Theme

              Places

              Here's what we heard

              Traffic dominating town centres and communities, and transport shaping whether places work for people and business.

              Here's where it appears in the Plan

              • Outcome 1: Everyday journeys
              • Outcome 6: Places and economy
              • Commitment 18: Develop integrated transport plans for Barbados' key centres
              • Commitment 19: Connect new development to transport capacity and choice
