Say No to tunnels and toll roads
The current government intends to spend $18 billion primarily on road projects, which include tunnels, toll roads and an elevated freeway through Sunshine and Footscray. An alternative vision is to spend this money on sustainable public and rail freight transport in the east, west, central and southern suburbs of Melbourne.
Join us for a Community Rally and Picnic

The Coalition of Transport Action Groups (CTAG) is a newly formed coalition of resident, action and environmental groups from the East, Inner, West and Southern suburbs of Melbourne. We are committed to opposing the Eddington Report’s recommendations for the construction of tunnels, new freeways and toll roads and advocating for sustainable public and rail freight transport.
