Tonight’s Eastern Transport Coalition provided further discussion on a series of factsheets that being produced to highlight the need for public transport improvements within the eastern region. These factsheets will highlight the priorities of the Eastern Transport Coalition, as well as the expected actions required by the Government.

Tomorrow, the Eastern Transport Coalition will be taking Meredith Sussex, the Coordinator General of Infrastructure, on a tour of eastern Melbourne, to highlight the transport priorities of the region. It is hoped that this tour will directly highlight the need for new rail lines and improved bus services. The need for public transport improvements was recently demonstrated in the Environmental Commissioner’s report into Melbourne’s sustainability and recommended urgent action to provide reliable public transport for Melbourne’s outer suburbs.
