Member Views NotImportant Midway FairlyImportant VeryImportant ExtremelyImportant Total Important = 90% • 9 in 10 Victorian motorists rate their car as important in their day-to-day lives, with two-thirds regarding their car as extremely important. • The results reflect the high level of importance placed on the car by most Victorians.

Member Views - Summary • Importance of personal mobility is at a record high and ‘solutions’ should recognise this • Motorists’ concern about the environmental impact of cars remains high - highest level since surveys began in 1995 • Widespread and strong support for upgraded public transport services and new routes • Strong support for completing missing links in freeway network and outer metro improvements 2
