Pace Suburban Bus’ Post

The Pace Suburban Bus ReVision project is a transformative initiative designed to create a more accessible, equitable, and productive transit system across our region. By reimagining service routes, schedules, and on demand options, this study could lead to significant service updates — starting as early as 2026. Pace is asking for public input via an online survey:

Operation of a possible national road pricing scheme will require a carefully selected and balanced mix of public and private sector capabilities. But what might the options be and what is more likely?

The programme will have a budget of €40 million.

The Transportation Commission has voted to advance a pair of options for possible toll-rate adjustments on the State Route 520 bridge this summer. The toll rate changes are being considered for the currently tolled bridge. The two options are: ◼️ An across-the-board 10 percent toll rate increase for all times of the day and days of the week, with increases that range from $0.15 to $0.45 depending on the time of day/day of the week. ◼️ A tailored toll-rate increase averaging 10 percent overall, with fewer rate variations and adjustments ranging from a decrease of $0.10 to an increase of $0.70, depending on the time of day/day of the week. The Commission will get further analysis on the rate increases and release a survey for public input this spring.

A level and IB Economists - another good bit of application and critical view of policy decisions. That of infrastructure spending. You do know you need lots of real life examples (application) of interventionst supply side policy, excessive govt spending, government failure and fiscal burden.

We’re investing $44.5 billion in regional transport and roads and these are just some of my budget highlights

The Albanese Government has delivered few changes for the infrastructure sector in a Federal Budget that prioritised cost-of-living support for households, says industry think tank Infrastructure Partnerships Australia. “Tonight was neither a scorched-earth nor a free-for-all-spending budget,” said Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, Chief Executive Adrian Dwyer. “After years of accelerating infrastructure spending, tonight’s Budget confirms the halcyon days of year-on-year infrastructure spending growth are now firmly in the rearview mirror. “Federal general government infrastructure funding is now at $60.5 billion over the four years to FY2027-28, $1.8 billion – or three per cent – lower than last year’s total. “This allocation represents 1.92 per cent of total general government spending, with this Budget’s four-year spend being $9.6 billion above the infrastructure expenditure long-term trend of 1.61 per cent of general government expenditure." #infrastructureaustralia #australiabudget #budget2024 #infrastructurespending #civilengineering #construction #sydneymetro #crossriverrail #bigbuild
