Public Transport Advisory Group
The Minister for Transport and Multicultural Affairs established the Public Transport Advisory Group in May 2011. The group consists of Public Transport Champions, community organisations, government and business representatives. The group meets every two months and provides a forum to discuss public transport issues within the TransLink network in south east Queensland. It also considers options to address any significant issues impacting on public transport users.
The Public Transport Champions are members of the public who have nominated to become representatives for one of ten regions within the TransLink network. The role of each Public Transport Champion is to be a voice for members of their community, bringing public transport issues to the attention of the group. Public Transport Champions are not remunerated.
Public transport related issues can be raised with Public Transport Champions through the following email addresses:
