Local Campaigns
EcoTransit also provides assistance, advice, and the benefit of our long history with transport developments to local transport groups.

M4 East - with Marrickville Transport Action Group, NoM4East and R.A.T.S
EcoTransit has been involved in the campaign for increased levels of public transport in the inner west of Sydney, since early 2004. We have engaged with the State Government's proposal for another motorway tunnel by demonstrating the benefits of improving congestion by increasing the number and type of public transport services in this area. As you can probably guess, this proposal has significant implications for much of the inner west, but it is just as important for those people who have no other choice than to drive into the CBD. The M4 East proposal also requires a number of other developments including the "Marrickville Truck Tunnel" and the "Inner West Motorway".

F/M 6 Public Transport Corridor - with Marrickville Transport Action Group, C.A.R.T.S, Sutherland Shire Environment Centre
EcoTransit Sydney was successful in persuading the NSW Government to reconsider using the M6 corridor as another motorway, clearing the path for its use as a public transport and recreational corridor. That was back in December 2003. In 2006 however, there is talk of overturning this decision and giving the residents of the inner west even more gridlock. It will also destroy part of the Royal National Park, RAMSAR listed wetlands and the only playing fields in several local government areas. Once again, this proposal creates further disruption through a requirement for new or expanded 'feeder' roads.
