  Advocacy 2018  -  MTF transport forums

                  

                  
  The pre-election Council-based transport forums have become a regular
  event for the MTF, and have been organised in the lead-up to the 2010,
  2014 and now 2018 state elections to enable the community to debate local
  transport issues with election candidates. In 2018 14 forums were held by
  member councils in metropolitan Melbourne.  They were organised by
  Greg Day, Edunity, and all proceedings can be found at www.transportforum.org.au.

      As a lead event for the MTF bus advocacy program for 2017/2018 the
      MTF hosted a forum on Tuesday 31st October 2017 focussing on what can
      be done to help buses play a greater role in the local transport
      mix.  An interesting line up of speakers provided valuable
      insight into the bus sector as follows:

      A workshop organised by Phillip Boyle and Associates (PBA) followed
      in the afternoon working through the many issues to do with buses and
      concentrating into some common themes of importance to all member
      councils.  These will be carried on for future
      advocacy.  
    
                  
    
                  
      
                  
    
                  
    
                  
      In 2018 bus advocacy has been maintained as an underfunded and much
      needed element of the public transport system, which despite a number
      of major rail projects, is still the only public transport option for
      much of Melbourne.  See www.billions4buses.melbourne
      for ongoing bus advocacy.
