Description
The transport infrastructure in place determines the choices we make every day about how we get around, and in turn the emissions profile of personal transport in Australia. This report focuses on the potential for emissions reduction in personal transport and the regulatory, legal and technological changes needed to drive emissions reduction.
Recommendations:
- Structurally shift investment to drive a major increase in active and public transport investment
- Review and reform transport pricing to ensure it is equitable, affordable and encourages the mode shift required
- Electrify all public transport by 2035 at the latest, and ideally by 2030
- Implement fuel efficiency standards
- Develop a National Transport Decarbonisation Plan
