context_page_description: The Transport Integration Act 2010 is a law enacted by the Parliament of the State of Victoria, Australia. The Act is the prime transport statute in Victoria, having replaced major parts of the Transport Act 1983, which was renamed as the Transport Act 1983.
  The purpose of the Transport Integration Act is to "...create a new framework for the provision of an integrated and sustainable transport system in Victoria...". The Act broadly seeks to unify all elements of the Victorian transport portfolio to ensure that transport and land use agencies work together towards the common goal of an integrated and sustainable transport system.
  In essence, the Transport Integration Act sets out the policy framework for transport in Victoria and establishes and sets the charters of the key agencies who make decisions which affect the planning and operation of the State's transport system.
  One commentator has opined that "he Act is a leading example of modern and progressive principles-based legislation. It marked a fundamental shift away from detailed, prescriptive rules to higher level guidance and more flexible outcomes."
caption: The route 401 prepaid shuttle from North Melbourne railway station to the University of Melbourne provides an innovative example of transport integration. However, community pressure exists in Melbourne for more permanent improvements to passenger transport including construction of the Melbourne Metro project, an underground metropolitan rail tunnel. The tunnel will travel from South Kensington railway station (north west of the Melbourne CBD) to Caulfield railway station (in the south east) and is currently under construction.
