Transport, of course, is as much of behaviour change problem as a technology improvement problem à la the 'Avoid - Shift - Improve' framework share.google/tPy5Np1kBAY3...

Aside from transport electrification and the'$100 million Active Transport Fund, High-Speed and Inland Rail' the 'Net Zero Plan' (www.dcceew.gov.au/climate-chan...)
does not mention much about increased investment in public transport services as a carbon abatement strategy...

A pleasure as always to work with Monika Da Silva Pedroso, @nessawinston-ucd.bsky.social, and Orla Dingley

All of this calls for integrated rural mobility and energy strategies, better #schooltransport, sustainable rural transport investment, and targeted support for low-income households, to break these cycles of disadvantage.

- Half of rural areas lack public transport, leaving many children “trapped” locally.
- Cumulative energy and transport poverty compounds disadvantage, independent of household income.
- Girls living in rural areas showed the highest mental-health vulnerability.

Agree that bikes and scooters have no place on footpaths, unless there is no other facilities/infrastructure for them to use, in which case what can they do, share roadspace with intimating motor vehicles?

....I said the CBD

It is a sign of things to come in the Upper Yarra Valley, and shows what can be achieved in a rural community to address transport related issues when participatory planning is encouraged.

Based on the observations received from the students... the future of transport and urban planning in Melbourne is in good hands!

We discussed some interesting observations & analysis of what the area does well in terms of transport provision & what are the key opportunities for improvements that can be made from a TOD perspective

Contributions cover a wide range of research findings, methodological aspects, technologies and policy issues that are currently reshaping the transport and mobility system in different parts of Europe.
