Media Release 5 June 2010

SEQ: Citizens Public Transport Forum Saturday 4th September 2010

RAIL Back On Track (http://backontrack.org) a web based community support group for rail and public transport and an advocate for public transport commuters has organised a forum on public transport to be held in Brisbane on Saturday 4th September. Anyone who is interested in public and active transport is welcome to register and attend.  Web site: http://backontrack.org/cptf

Robert Dow, Spokesman for RAIL Back On Track said:

"South east Queensland is on the threshold of a major change in preferred transport options.  Momentum for change is increasing.  The recent Growth Management Summit again highlighted the need for increasing sustainable public and active transport share (1).

"As a community, there is much to gain by increasing the share of transport journeys to at least 50% for active and public transport combined. Congestion is reduced, environmental impacts lessened, people are healthier and there is a significant reduction in the extreme costs of road trauma to the health sector."

"The Citizens Public Transport Forum will highlight the considerable progress made with public and active transport initiatives in south-east Queensland and afford delegates the opportunity to discuss future opportunities and directions with key personnel."

"Full details of the forum can be reviewed at our website: http://backontrack.org/cptf "

"We would like to thank and acknowledge the support of the Minister for Transport, TransLink, QR Passenger, Brisbane Transport, Cross River Rail, Dr John Nightingale and Mr Chris Hale for their contributions to the forum."
