What is the Eastern Transport Coalition?

The Eastern Transport Coalition (ETC) consists of five of Melbourne's eastern metropolitan councils. Combined, the ETC represents approximately one million residents.

We advocate for sustainable and integrated transport services that reduce car dependency. Whether you use it or not, public transportation benefits all of us — it reduces pollution, eases congestion, and provides vital connections to jobs, education, and medical care for some of our most vulnerable residents.

We work with Federal and State governments to ensure the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of Melbourne's outer east.

"Help us make good transport ideas a reality in Melbourne's east."
