This is a joint program between Department of Human Services, Department of infrastructure, Department for Victorian Communities and Department of Education and Training.
Two Rivers Transport is one of the nine projects funded across Victoria, the project focuses on improving access to transport in the two relatively small towns of Casterton and Port Fairy located on the Glenelg and Moyne rivers respectively. Although supported by the South West Community Transport program, their existing resources are very limited.
This project includes brokerage funding that will increase access to transport for those not able to afford full costs of commercial transport. The long term objectives of the project are to develop sustainable local community transport systems and to integrate the services into the wider regional network.
Successes to date have been improved access to the community bus in Port Fairy and introduction of a taxi subsidy in Casterton.
