01.NSW Transport Alliance Discussion Paper

The aim of the NSW Transport Alliance is to develop a peak organisation that provides a focus for what existing groups are already undertaking across NSW. That is, to a large extent, the Transport Alliance will provide a clearinghouse role disseminating information and coordinating Alliance activities on as broad a scale as possible.

The key goal for the Transport Alliance will be its ability to bring a broad range of groups together around four to six agreed campaign priority issues and to coordinate a response to transport issues across NSW. The development of a communication network and the undertaking of designated campaigns over the next three years will allow the Transport Alliance to develop active networks and position the Alliance to be a player in promoting transport as a key election issues leading up to the 2007 State Election.

Our ultimate purpose is to ensure that the government provides a comprehensive and accessible public transport system in NSW. A public transport system that moves people around the state and within their local communities safely, efficiently and at a reasonable price

The Transport Alliance has a discussion paper available for groups who are interested in participating in the Alliance to provide feedback on the aims and goals of the Alliance.

Some key areas for consideration may include:

· Are the aims or goals of the Alliance too broad and thus will dilute the effectiveness of such an alliance?

· How could a communication network operate effectively? What is the volume of information groups would consider relevant and what areas should the information cover?

· What types of activities should the Alliance undertake? Who should these activities target?

Suggestions are most welcomed and should be emailed to m.morey@labor.org.au
