No motorways under Greens transport plan

The Greens are pushing for an end to motorways in Sydney as part of its transport plan launched today.

The Sustainable Transport Plan for Sydney launched by the Greens Senate candidate for NSW, Lee Rhiannon, opposes new motorways and supports a decline in road funding.

Despite the trucking industry backing a Federal Government commitment to look at expanding the M5 and link the F3 to M2, Rhiannon says the projects must not go ahead because they will not reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Instead, the transport plan wants more money poured into public transport at the expense of roads and for incentives to be introduced to encourage more freight to be carried on rail.

The Greens seek a shift to sustainable transport cycling, walking and heavy and light rail to help the environment and combat air pollution. New motorway projects like the M5 duplication and M4 East should not proceed, the transport plan reads.
