Abstract

This paper outlines measures that can be implemented in the next five years to improve travel time and reliability on Melbourne's transport network and reduce the impacts of congestion. These measures include expanding off-peak fares on metropolitan public transport, overhauling Melbourne's bus network, expand and increase the car parking levy, improve transparency of fare-setting, better road-space allocation, maximising opportunities to encourage travel behaviour change during disruptions to the transport network, prioritise active transport in high-potential areas and improve road connectivity where private vehicle use works best.
