Ecology
In one year, the average passenger train reduces carbon
emissions by a factor equivalent to planting 320 hectares of trees
In one year, the average freight train travelling between Melbourne and
Brisbane reduces carbon emissions by a factor equivalent to planting 600
hectares of trees (or a household of 3 people giving up electricity for 46 years)

Safety
▪ On average, every year there are 1500 road fatalities and
over 30,000 road injuries costing Australia $35 billion annually
▪ By comparison rail accrues 37 fatalities and 130 injuries
* Deloitte Access Economics
▪ One passenger train reduces accident costs by an amount that
could fund 505 hospital beds per day or 6 doctors for one year

Congestion
▪ Traffic congestion costs Australians $15 billion every year
▪ The average passenger train takes 525 cars off the road,
that’s equivalent to 3.2 million vehicle kilometres a year
▪ The average freight train takes 110 trucks off the road,
that’s equivalent to 49.7 million truck kilometres a year

Reducing social exclusion
Poor transport contributes to social exclusion in two ways:
1. Poor transport restricts access to activities that enhance people’s life
chances such as work, learning, health care, food shopping and more
2. Deprived communities suffer disproportionately from pedestrian deaths,
pollution and the isolation which can result from living near busy roads
* London Social Exclusion Unit
** Australian Bureau of Statistics
ABS figures suggest that 2.6 million Australians live under the poverty line,
meaning that 11.8% of residents are in need of low cost transport options

Facilitating growth and prosperity
▪ The CBDs of Sydney and Melbourne – just
7.1 square kilometres – generate $118 billion
(triple the contribution of the agriculture sector)
* Grattan Institute
** Australian National Accounts
Infrastructure is of critical importance to the
productivity of businesses – governments must
look for new ways to meet our infrastructure
needs over the long term – there is no shortage
of private sector financing available for projects.

Sustainable industry – jobs and $$$
▪ The High Capacity Metro Trains (HCMT) Project is the largest single
investment in new rolling stock in Victorian history at 65 new trains
leading to 120 by 2025 (with 50% local content)
▪ Sydney and Melbourne alone will invest $55 billion in rail assets in
the next 10 years
▪ Inland Rail Project -1700km of new freight line, enabling goods
to be delivered Melbourne-Brisbane in less than 24 hours
Tens of thousands of jobs

Making it happen…
![Page 22: Andrew Lezala - Metro Trains Melbourne - The True Value of Rail](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587e9a411a28ab672b8b767f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Planning and mobility demand
▪ There is a vital need for carefully developed urban blueprints
such as those developed for Shanghai and other major cities
▪ A national transport plan would provide cohesion and direction
▪ We must plan and build smart cities not dumb cities… why build
in Point Cook and Cranbourne without public transport infrastructure?
▪ Change to high rise close to CBD - or mobility demand becomes exponential
![Page 23: Andrew Lezala - Metro Trains Melbourne - The True Value of Rail](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587e9a411a28ab672b8b767f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Funding… get joined-up plans
▪ Federal and State government alignment supporting the plans
▪ Private sector finance for appropriate elements
▪ Value capture – plan it in from the start
▪ Alternative sources of funds e.g. benefit tax, congestion charging etc
▪ ARA should play a key role in influencing outcomes in this space

Customer centric approach
A customer centric approach will help to drive rail patronage in the future:
Clean
Accessible
Reliable
Safe
Capacity
