A task such as this one is not new to me. Over Matters that the investigation will consider include: the past eighteen months, I have been engaged by the UK Government to report on the long-term Public transport opportunities link between transport and economic productivity, Enhanced freight access growth and stability. I have looked at experiences Urban amenity around the world and it is evident that a high standard of transport infrastructure is essential to Road network connectivity economic development. Benefits to the Victorian economy Many of the challenges I have seen in the UK are Traffic congestion the same the world over. Here in Victoria – as in Costs and funding options many other parts of the world – those challenges I intend to deliver a report that sets out practical, are reflected in the tension between urban amenity workable and achievable options. To do this, I want to and traffic demands, significant population and be clear from the start about what’s in and what’s out freight growth, congestion affecting public transport of the assessment.

Public transport must continue to be a priority for current and future Victorian governments. At present, east-west public transport links north of the Melbourne CBD are limited, an issue which is being addressed in Meeting Our Transport Challenges by the introduction of such initiatives as the Smart Bus Expansion project and other improvements to bus services and rail capacity upgrades. In this context, the long term transport requirements of an additional east-west corridor need to be assessed and options developed to meet future demand.
