What frustrates me about the people who claim they "have" to drive is that they then oppose changes that will benefit everyone, themselves included. Of course #transportpolicy has to include exceptions, but that doesn't amount to an argument against change.

Australia’s roads are filling up with ever-larger SUVs and utes. Bigger vehicles increase the risks for pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers – and may also change how people drive, writes Milad Haghani. #RoadSafety #SUVs #TransportPolicy #Australia
Australia’s roads are full of giant cars, and everyone pays the price
Australia’s growing love affair with SUVs and utes is reshaping road safety. Larger vehicles don’t just cause more harm in crashes – they may also change how drivers behave.

Ooooh detta är så så intressant för en som forskar om transportpolicy. Spontan gissning är att det ffa är valfläsk och slå undan benen på oppositionens valkampanjer? Men jag undrar också hur de ska leverera detta gentemot regionerna rent praktiskt.

Fuel excise doesn’t fund most Aussie roads.
75% = council rates
25% = state (rego, etc.)
<1% = federal So replacing fuel excise with an EV tax? It’s not about fairness, it’s just another tax. #EVTax #RoadFunding #TransportPolicy #AustraliaEVs

Someone should tell the Tories that the 15-minute city offers options, not decrees and limitations. Being able to get somewhere within 15 minutes doesn’t mean that you are delimited to doing so. You’d think educated people should get simple facts right. #15MinuteCity #TransportPolicy #ClimateCrisis
