Commuters and businesses in south east Queensland lose thousands of hours every year sitting in traffic. What are the real barriers to freeing up our transport routes? What are the options? And what can we, as both users of transport and contributors to traffic, do to help?
The focus on solving our traffic problems has sharpened with our increasing concern for our lifestyle and environment. New infrastructure, including the recently announced cross river rail project and innovations such as transport oriented developments, needs to go hand in hand with new community behaviour if we’re to derail traffic chaos in the south east.
Hear the latest news and have your say on what you think needs to happen to derail our traffic chaos. Join Minister for Transport Rachel Nolan, Cross River Rail project director Luke Franzmann, Infrastructure and Planning Assistant Coordinator General James Coutts, AECOM’s Sigrid Sanderson, BCC Public and Active Transport committee chairman Cr Margaret de Wit and Rail Back on Track public transport advocate Robert Dow, as we discuss the opportunities and challenges of moving around our capital.
