Augustus Brown 🌈Tactiles seem a no brainer and dirt cheap. Making ramps compliant would be more difficult. I wonder if a stop gap measure could be to allow more powerful mobility devices. <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-01/victorian-trains-fail-to-meet-national-accessibility-standards/105337558" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-01/victorian-trains-fail-to-meet-national-accessibility-standards/105337558</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AusPol</a>

Public Transport Users AssocYou've probably heard about the public transport fare discounts for under 18s and Seniors funded in last week's State Budget. But there were also service upgrades to make the network more useful for everyone - here are some of the highlights. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VicBudget" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VicBudget</a> <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/bsncKzDHoOI?feature=share" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/shorts/bsncKzDHoOI?feature=share</a>

David MarlerIs Jacinta Allan the best person to lead Victoria? I don't know, I'm up here in Queensland. One thing I wouldn't be listening to is credit rating agencies.

Will get out around 1pm. In transport I’m hoping to see more of a focus on increased services, after a decade of mostly investment in infrastructure.

Tim RichardsThat's a funny coincidence - there's a state election in 2026 as well. ;) --- The Victorian government will make public transport free for all children from next year in a bid to relieve cost-of-living pressures. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/vicpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vicpol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-18/victorian-children-to-get-free-public-transport-in-budget/105305066" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-18/victorian-children-to-get-free-public-transport-in-budget/105305066</a>

Jesse"The Victorian Government is committed to improving safety for people walking, bike riders and micromobility users, and has invested significantly in active transport as part of a $20.7 million investment in the 2024-2025 State Budget for critical public and active transport."$20 million...That's just 1% of the $1.1 billion in state road maintenance funds in that budget year.How do they expect to transport 25% of the people for 1% of the budget?<a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VicPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ActiveTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveTransport</a>

JesseThe Victorian Government released the their response to the "Inquiry into the impact of road safety behaviours on vulnerable road users report" last week. It's 6 months late.I'm having a read. An interesting thing that popped up in the first page was "Victoria’s Climate Change Strategy sets a target of net zero emissions by 2045. To help achieve this the Transport Sector Emissions Reduction Pledge aims to increase active transport mode share to 25 per cent by 2030."If the Victorian Government wants active transport to make up 25 per cent of transport in 2023 then in 2030 they should be investing at least 25 per cent of the transport budget in to active transport and they should be investing more than that in the next 5yrs so as to get the active transport network up up to the point where it can support 25 per cent of trips.<a href="https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/inquiries/roadsafetybehaviours/reports" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/get-involved/inquiries/roadsafetybehaviours/reports</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VicPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ActiveTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActiveTransport</a>

Tim RichardsI think the Victorian government is doing the right thing in promoting neighbourhoods with fewer cars; impossible to keep increasing congestion alongside housing density.<a href="https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/a-tortuous-path-the-push-to-get-melburnians-to-ditch-their-cars-20250306-p5lhkt.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/a-tortuous-path-the-push-to-get-melburnians-to-ditch-their-cars-20250306-p5lhkt.html</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melbourne</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/vicpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vicpol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> cc <a href="https://mastodon.social/@TheWarOnCars" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheWarOnCars</a>

JesseIt was great to see the Infrastructure Victoria report acknowledge that building more roads doesn't fix traffic and that we need to stop trying to do that.Building more roads to fix traffic is a weird fringe idea that has 60yrs of data to show that it doesn't work. Building freeways is an ideological and political position that has never been supported by data.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/SpringSt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpringSt</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VicPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CarsRuinCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarsRuinCities</a><a href="https://www.infrastructurevictoria.com.au/resources/draft-30-year-strategy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.infrastructurevictoria.com.au/resources/draft-30-year-strategy</a>
