Infrastructure and transport
Portfolio
Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities
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.
