Right across the state, people who use wheelchairs, have limited mobility or push prams can’t get on many of our trains and trams.
Despite over 40 years of activism from the disability community and their allies, the Victorian Labor Government is still decades off making our public transport accessible.
At the current rate of construction, our network won’t be accessible to everyone until 2066. The Greens want a public transport system which is accessible for all.
The Greens’ plan includes:
- Doubling the number of accessible tram stops to accelerate Melbourne’s transition to a fully accessible tram network
- Continuing to push for more low floor trams
- $250 million to upgrade train stations across the city to make them accessible, and user-friendly
