Transport issues affect all Territorians, and cut across all community service sectors and impact all geographical areas – urban, regional and remote. Being one of the most sparsely populated places on the planet makes provision of transport a highly complex and costly task for the NT.

There are a range of barriers to access to transport, such as the cost, availability and physical access issues. All of these impact greatly on the ability of people to access work, health, other essential services, and recreational and social activities. Basically without access to good and inexpensive transport, it is very hard to fully participate in society.
