A number of projects have been established by the Victorian State Government to explore ways of improving rural and regional access and mobility. The Transport Connections Program supports nine innovative and community-based flexible transport initiatives from across Victoria that experience significant transport disadvantage. By contrast, the Indigo and Towong Shires Community Transport and Access Strategy has used a study approach to focus on addressing the access and mobility needs within two north-east municipalities of Victoria. Concurrently, a multi-agency policy team approach has been piloted to tackle significant cross-government issues relating to access and mobility in rural and regional areas. The paper considers these three different approaches to improving rural and regional access and mobility, and describes the lessons that are emerging from these projects.
