RACQ’s 2024 Travel Speeds Report* revealed a grim trend for congestion on key South East Queensland (SEQ) corridors, sparking urgent calls for a long-term transport plan in the lead up to the 2032 Games and beyond.

To combat our region’s growing pains, RACQ’s Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane is calling for a long-term SEQ transport plan to achieve two key objectives; improve our public and active transport networks and upgrade and complete Brisbane’s outer ring of motorways.

We already have a long term plan - Connecting SEQ 2031.

That’s going to give us faster rail on the GC and SC lines, LRT to Coolangatta, rail lines to Flagstone and Ripley, a Paris-style Brisbane subway etc.

Long term plans generally get changed and watered down. A short term plan would be less prone to this and the results would be visible sooner, leading to enhanced accountability.
