FASTER BETTER SOONER: Look at Monash Rowville rail now

Melbourne is growing and more people need transport. With concern about climate change and rising petrol prices, Melbourne's growth is not sustainable without more and better public transport.

Victorians want more people catching public transport, cycling and walking; fewer trucks on our roads, more freight on rail; and fewer kilometres travelled by car and truck.

Public transport should: be fast, frequent, reliable, affordable and safe; grow as Melbourne grows; be available to all Melbournians; and be managed as an integrated, co-ordinated network.

This means bringing forward existing public transport projects, committing to new projects and accelerating programs to move freight off our roads and onto rail.

It also means looking very closely at the impact on greenhouse gas emissions of any new transport projects like tunnels and freeways.

We especially urge you to look at a feasibility study for a Monash Rowville rail line.

As Melbourne's population grows, better public transport will both reduce traffic congestion and provide a much needed antidote to spiralling petrol prices.
