The disturbing thing about these figures is that 20 per cent of trips under 400 metres and almost 40 per cent of trips under 800m are done by car. Not only does this have health and evironmental implications, but also it means that we are significantly contributing to the vehicle and parking problems within the city.
The City of Port Phillip's parking and transport policies are directed at changing these trends through the management of parking and the improvement of public transport and alternate transport such as cycling and walking.
