Transport Strategy DevelopmentOver the last sixty years, Australia has developed a transport system heavily dependent on the private automobile. With rising fuel prices, congestion and obesity rates, there is a need to reassess our transport strategies to build a more sustainable transport system. As concern over climate change continues to spiral, the need to reduce car use becomes urgent. Governments play a central role in deciding mobility patterns. A strategy document forms the foundation of a government's transport work plan. It is a guiding document, directing emphasis on areas it wishes to promote. The need to reduce car use and promote walking, cycling and public transport is now widely appreciated by government and the community. Transport strategies must therefore reflect this, with a fresh focus on the most sustainable transport modes. The Institute for Sensible Transport provides expert advice to organisations wishing to develop or review their transport strategies. We have experience working with local government to produce workable, practical, and cost effective transport strategies. Importantly, we have a special area of expertise in ensuring a high level of consistency and complementarity between the transport strategy and other areas of organisations responsibility. We take a whole-of-government approach, ensuring transport strategies support an organisations health and environment policies.
