	PRINCIPAL VOICES ~ Transport
		The need to increase people's mobility by providing safe, efficient, cost-effective transport, while at the same time minimizing the negative impact of that transport on health, lifestyle and the environment, is the key transport imperative of our time.
		Even the rail and shipping sectors, traditionally the least environmentally damaging and least congestive modes of transport, are having to grapple with the issue of sustainability, albeit in their own unique ways.
		Lack of investment, for instance, is causing the railway system in many developing countries to slowly collapse, with disastrous effects both for those countries' economies, and for the safety of their citizens.

	Road transport has been let run wild - Business - Business - theage.com.au
		THE Bracks Government's Transport statement is based on two myths that have been sold to the Premier and Cabinet by their advisers, Vicroads, the road transport lobbies, and the motor vehicle industry:
		The Bracks Government has made a tentative first step but it fails to recognise that the road transport sector is in receipt of enormous construction and maintenance subsidies, and tax concessions, and imposes huge opportunity and external costs on the community, half of which is not collected in taxes and charges.
		Under the new Transport Plan, there is still no incentive for the mass transit franchisees to encourage demand, to become more profitable, or to meet the market, as overseas transit companies have done.
