Is this website for you?

If you are interested in safer local streets for people so they have priority rather than cars; if having more convenient and healthier transport options prioritised by authorities appeals to you; if you’d like a healthy and environmentally friendly community, then you’ve come to the right website.

That’s what WATAG is trying to achieve.

WATAG promotes Active Transport

Here’s just one good reason why. Health, Safety and Convenience are perhaps even more important.

Total cost to society per commute – Coburg to Melbourne CBD

Source: Deloitte Access Economics
The Age 21 Sep 2018 reports that Deloitte Access Economics research…
“modelled a journey from Coburg to Flinders Street Station via car, train and bicycle and found – after taking traffic congestion, accidents and other impacts into consideration – that the car trip costs society nearly twice as much as the train trip, and 19 times more than riding a bike.”
 
Not much more to be said really… the conclusions are obvious.
