    2017-18 Budget Submission PREPARED FOR THE NSW GOVERNMENT MAY 2017 About the NRMA Better road and transport infrastructure has been a core focus of the NRMA since 1920 when our founders lobbied for improvements to the condition of Parramatta Road in Sydney. Independent advocacy was the foundation activity of the organisation and remains critical to who we are as we approach our first centenary. From humble beginnings, the NRMA has grown to represent over 2.4 million Australians principally from NSW and the ACT. The NRMA also provides motoring, mobility and tourism services to our Members and the community. Today, the NRMA works with policy makers and industry leaders to advocate for increased investment in road infrastructure and transport solutions to make mobility safer, provide access for all and to deliver sustainable communities. By working together with all levels of government to deliver integrated transport options we can give motorists a real choice about how they get around. The NRMA believes that integrated transport networks, including efficient roads, high-quality public transport and improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, are essential to solve the challenge of growing congestion and provide for the future growth of our communities.
