Parramatta. Call to remove tolls

Parramatta City Council has called on the State Government to remove tolls from the M4, given that no significant commitment has been made to contribute towards new public transport infrastructure in Parramatta and Western Sydney. “Unless the State Government can fulfil transport commitments for the growing population of western Sydney, then the M4 toll should be removed. Alternatively, if the RTA retains the M4 toll as a demand management tool, the Roads and Traffic Authority should retain the Cashback scheme beyond next year while contributing towards new integrated public transport infrastructure projects,” Parramatta Lord Mayor, Paul Garrard, said.
