Frankston city council efforts to extend electrified line beyond Frankston train station is now one of the priorities for Infrastructure Australia in 2020.
INFRASTRUCTURE AUSTRALIA PRIORITY LIST FOR 2020
According to the Mayor, poor access to public transport underpins existing high levels of unemployment (5.7 per cent), youth disengagement (10.4 per cent) and low rates of people holding a Bachelor or higher degree (14.5 per cent) across Frankston City.
Delivering fast and reliable metropolitan rail and expanded bus services across the region to Frankston’s city centre, industrial precincts and growing Health and Education Precinct will relieve commuter based congestion, making it easier for people to travel to work, training, recreation and visitor experiences.
