This proposal has two components.

  • Component 1: Provide ongoing grant funding of $2,500 million per year to the states and territories for public transport.  This component would also re‐allocate existing road toll funding to public transport.   
    • The re‐allocation of road toll funding to public transport represents a redistribution of funds, therefore there are no Commonwealth budget financial implications for this element.   
  • Component 2: Provide ongoing grant funding to the states and territories of $250 million per year for active transport such as cycling and walking infrastructure.   

Both components would have effect from 1 July 2019.
