We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the First Peoples of Australia. Cumberland City Council also acknowledges other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples living and working in the Cumberland Local Government Area. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PARTICIPANTS Cumberland City Council would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who participated in this research. This report would not have been possible without your time and willingness to share your stories and experiences. Document Set ID: 8005199 Version: 9, Version Date: 13/08/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents findings from research into key transport and mobility challenges for the Cumberland community. This research was conducted between August 2019 and April 2020 and is grounded in empirical data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Transport for NSW, amongst other sources, and extensive community engagement. Quality transport options are fundamental to accessing many essential services, education, employment and social and recreational activities. Although three train lines run through the Cumberland LGA, in addition to the T80 high frequency bus route, many Cumberland residents still have difficulties getting around. Major barriers raised by the community relate to reliability, frequency and coverage of services.

  • GETTING Homesafely Anewapproach.Com.Au
    GETTING Home SAFELY Labor’s pLAN TO MAKE TRAIN TRAVEL SAFER ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS Labor understands that the people of NSW deserve safe, reliable and comfortable public transport. As part of providing a public transport service that meets community needs a Foley Government will do all it can to make travelling on public transport safer. That’s why Labor will: • Re-introduce Guardian train services on Friday and Saturday nights; and • Run all-night train services from Kings Cross to Town Hall and Central Stations. Feeling safe and having confidence in the security on our trains is a major factor for people choosing whether or not to use the rail network, especially for women, parents with children, and older and other vulnerable people. The NRMA’s Seeing Red on Rail reported personal security as the second most pressing issue for over 11,000 thousand commuters. 38% of commuters in this survey said that they do not feel safe at certain times of the day. The Sydney Trains network includes 12 lines, 176 stations and many interchanges. NSW TrainLink network includes 5 intercity lines and over 130 stations. It is a large area to cover. Knowing that there is assistance if other passengers are being anti-social, violent or abusive – especially at night, can increase the numbers of people using public transport as well as improve security. Under the Baird Liberal Government, security on the rail network has been cut. When the Liberals and Nationals came to government in 2011 there were 600 dedicated transit officers for trains and 300 commuter police attached to local area commands.

Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Myミャンマーanmar ラオスLaos Thailandタイ Banバンコクgkok ◎ カンボジアCambodia プロジェクトサイトProject Site Map of the project area Bangkok Subway (MRT Blue Line) 1.1 Background Accompanying the rapid economic development in Bangkok starting in the 1990s, regular traffic congestion and the associated air pollution became evident in the urban area. The Thai government drew up the Bangkok Mass Transit Master Plan (produced by the Office of the Commission for the Management of Road Traffic (OCMRT) and hereinafter referred to as the “master plan”) in 1995 based on the 7th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1992–1996) for the purpose of developing a mass transit network and also for developing a network of ordinary roads and expressways to achieve steady economic growth, together with resolving the above-mentioned traffic congestion and air pollution. Furthermore, the development of the mass transit network proposed in the master plan is also specified in the subsequent 8th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1997–2000), and it is positioned as an extremely important national project in Thailand. The plan for the Bangkok mass transit system, part of the master plan, involves the construction of five lines that will radiate out and join the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA) with the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR)1 together with creating a network 1 The Bangkok Metropolitan Region includes Bangkok, which is a special administrative area, and the surrounding five provinces of Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom, and Nonthaburi.
