    What we’re working on

    • Road safety

      We want all road users to feel safe. We advocate for safer cars, better roads and well-informed drivers.

    • Future transport

      We're teaching Tasmanians about new technology such as electric and driverless cars.

    • Sustainability

      We’re finding ways to make public and active transport cheaper, easier, safer and greener.

    • Representing you

      We fight for cheaper petrol prices and take your road priorities to all levels of government.

    Switching to an electric vehicle (EV)?

    Get ready Tassie, EVs are coming. We want them to be a cheaper and easier option for car owners as we move forward, but here’s where we’re at right now.

    • They’ll help you reduce your carbon footprint and are better for the environment. 

    • It’s estimated that by 2045 all new car sales will be EVs. 

    • By mid-late 2020s, the price of an EV should be on par with petrol cars

    • They cost a lot right now and there are currently no financial incentives. 

    • We don’t have enough charging stations in Tassie, but we’re working on it. 

    • There’s a limited range of models available, but more will be coming in the next year.
