Abstract

Within the context of Malta's EU accession and rapid increase in car dependence, this paper deals with the future of land transport policy for the islands. Furthermore, this paper has the objectives to identify the present transport trends and organisational structure in the islands, propose transport policy objectives for the future and identify barriers to their implementation. It is concluded that there are similarities in the transport problems experienced by island states, like Malta and other countries around the world and that no matter the size or location, consistent integrate policy is the key to successful implementation of sustainable transport policy.
