Driving

The majority of all trips taken in Greater Hobart are by motor vehicle:

  • private cars
  • taxis
  • motorcycles
  • ride share services.

Greater Hobart has the highest amount of car commuting of all Australian capital cities.

We can help reduce the reliance on cars by giving people more sustainable choices. This includes:

  • making it easier to walk to work through improved pedestrian infrastructure
  • prioritising bus routes
  • creating safe cycleways.

We can also make it easier for drivers to move through the city by prioritising key roads for local traffic.

We want to create a city where trips made by car or motorcycle are safe and convenient.

Our Transport Strategy focuses on providing drivers fair, affordable and safe travel options.
