Faster Rail Report: Bringing Australia’s rail network up to speed
“Our regional cities and towns need to be supported to encourage better economic and social outcomes for their communities. The recent bushfires and COVID-19 crisis highlighted how vulnerable Australia is to shocks and stresses. This reinforces the need to connect regional cities and towns to each other and our largest cities with a more resilient and sustainable transport network which, at the moment, is largely focused on road. While COVID-19 will temporarily slow Australia’s growth and reduce public transport patronage levels, this provides an opportunity to invest in rail now to shape our future beyond COVID-19.”

Covid-19: London sees boom in walking as pandemic changes lifestyles

READ THE ARTICLEThe idea behind ITS Monday was in part driven by our ITS Weekly Roundup, an email newsletter we send each Friday (subscribe to that here, plus/or our monthly iMOVE newsletter!). That newsletter contains a substantial number of links, and sometimes I think interesting content could be lost in the mix. I also see quite a lot of interesting content on social media (yes, you can follow us on Linkedin and Twitter). So every week I’ll collect a few things, and put them in ITS Monday.
*Inclusion in ITS Monday does not equal iMOVE endorsement. It’s more aimed at discovery, thought, or discussion … or all of those and more. And while for the most part I expect content to be current, a little age doesn’t mean diminished interest.
