Queensland continues to take the top gong on transport, but now for all the wrong reasons. Our fuel spikes to most expensive in the country, and drivers are losing weeks sat idling in traffic day in, day out. That's bad for them, bad for productivity, bad for the economy and bad for the environment.  

Major infrastructure projects have been pushed onto the back-burner, despite direct promises from the Premier, and their own planning documents identifying the significant need for more network capacity. 

So, where to from here? 

A postcode shouldn't determine opportunity, it shouldn't determine advantage and it shouldn't determine who pays more to travel. 

Whether travelling to work, school, university, the shopping centre, or just around the corner, you should have safe access to reliable transport that's there when you need it. Queenslanders should have a government that continues to invest in all modes of transport - from new active transport corridors, to more resilient roads, better bus connections and faster rail routes. No one should see their life go by from behind the steering wheel amidst a sea of standstill traffic. 

Queensland deserves transport solutions that make connection convenient, affordable and reliable. That's why I want to hear from you, on the transport priorities for a modern, integrated transport network of the future. 

One that keeps pace with growth, with changing travel behaviours and adapts to new and emerging technologies.
