List of recommendations
Recommendation 1

committee recommends that public transport infrastructure should be considered
as nationally-significant infrastructure, alongside private transport
infrastructure such as road construction.
Recommendation 2

committee recommends that wider economic costs and benefits, including social
and economic connectivity, environmental factors, active lifestyle benefits,
safety factors and avoided costs and benefits be factored into transport project
analysis.

3.70 The
committee recommends that, given the productivity cost of capital city
congestion, all levels of government interested in increasing national
productivity consider backing solutions to congestion, including public
transport.
Recommendation 4

committee recommends that when addressing congestion and other transport
problems, a range of reasonable solutions be examined, including the
publication of cost-benefit analysis, before decisions on funding are made by
government.
Recommendation 5
3.72 The
committee recommends that smaller cost projects, especially so-called smart
projects involving the more efficient use of existing infrastructure, or the
more effective integration of routes and modes, be prioritised according to the
positive benefits they produce.

committee recommends that the Australian Government fund transport – including
road and rail projects – on a mode-neutral basis, based on assessed merit.
Recommendation 7
3.74 The
committee recommends that the Australian Government take a leadership role on
urban policy, working with the states and territories, given the strong link
between transport and urban planning.
