The Greens believe that issues around governance need to be answered and that any merger of TT-Line, TasPorts and TasRail should not be on the table.
Can you confirm that the development application for that section of the South‑east Traffic Solution has lapsed?
The Greens welcome the Rockliff Government’s progress on rolling out a new driver education program in schools but call on them to ensure later life education remains a focus too.
At Estimates, the Premier told us the new infrastructure for the Bruny Island ferry terminal would be operational in October.
Speaker, this petition is calling for activation of an already existing State Growth transport corridor for the use of a heavy vehicle alternative route...
The Liberal Government’s long-overdue “Plan” to reduce transport emissions makes it very clear they have no intention to take the action needed on climate change.
In relation to active transport and bike lanes, I'm pleased to see that the government has helped fund trials in Hobart and in other places. In relation to joining up that network - you're looking at the Greater Hobart Bus Network review - but joining up existing bike lanes, is that part of your strategy as well? Also, is there any funding in relation to that?
Minister, traffic congestion and air pollution are two major factors that affect transport and our health generally. I'm just interested to know what sort of incentives you might be considering in relation to active transport, such as e‑bikes or personal mobility devices. Are there any sort of incentives and subsidies in that area?
Minister, you talked a bit about DDA compliance with electric buses and that's why you might undertake a trial before purchasing; I understand that. The bus stops and DDA compliance is woeful across most of Tasmania, so I'm just wondering what you're doing to rectify the situation and making bus stops up to standard, up to DDA compliance.
