Sustainable Transport Coalition of Western Australia

The STC is a community-based coalition advocating sustainable transport in Western Australia. We seek more sustainable and liveable communities where people are less dependent upon the car and have access to alternatives. We seek a transport system and land use pattern that facilitates access, protects the environment and promotes community. This blog is a way of our responding to issues of the day.

Transport Planning for Perth: Where Are The People, Their Perceptions And Their Priorities?

The STC recently published its outline of transport mode priorities, as a guide to more effective transport planning (http://sustainabletransportcoalitionofwa.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/it-isnt-easy-to-clearly-define.html).

This led to further consideration of the transport planning process within such a prioritisation of modes would be used. We concluded that substantial improvements to the way transport planning is done in Perth are both necessary and possible, not only to use the modal prioritisation effectively but to be effective in achieving a sustainable transport future for Perth.
