Janet Rice, Greens Senate Candidate for Victoria, has campaigned to improve transport in Melbourne's west — tirelessly to remove trucks from our inner suburbs, to better public transport options, to even ditching the mayoral car in favour of a bike during her stint as Maribyrnong council's mayor.

Rod Swift, Greens Candidate for Gellibrand, is also passionate about truck traffic — living on Ashley Street (set to get more trucks with the East-West Toll Road).  He's also a member of the Public Transport Users' Association and has campaigned for service improvements on Metro Trains.

It's time we got Metro Rail underway, a link to the airport, the Melton line electrified, better operations and improvements to the long-suffering Altona Loop customers, reinstatement of the Westgate Truck offramps as an interim truck fix while moving more rail heading for the Melbourne port onto freight, and getting trucks off our suburban streets.
