Action for Public Transport (N.S.W.) Inc.

The report concludes "[Victoria's] approach to congestion management remains dominated by expensive supply-side initiatives focused on increasing capacity with little evident attention to demand management alternatives. While the immediate benefits from these initiatives are clear, the absence of demand management measures means it cannot be assured that they are the most economical and cost-effective options in the longer term." Recommendations include references to public transport.

We commend the report to Transport for New South Wales (especially Roads and Maritime Services), the NRMA, and other pro-road interests.
