Objective 6; why 15% modal shift by 2031 target removed given still required for soundness. Imperative that modal shift target for 2026 included. Must report the modal shift levels achieved through Travel Ipswich in AMR (appendix 5 quoted). Evidence needed showing that modal shift can be delivered. Need to illustrate what "additional east-west highway capacity" is. Considerable investment in public transport required. Insufficient firm proposals or funding to deliver the required modal shift levels throughout the CS period. CS is unsound as it lacks a transport solution that supports proposed growth. Switch to electric cars will not solve health impacts.
